The NBCNews.com site also offers a digital stream of NBC Nightly News which includes the same version seen on local stations with additional breaking news updates. Past show are also archived on the site. NBC Nightly News launched Early Nightly in July 2006, an on-camera video blog produced by NBC News correspondents and NBC Nightly News producers with weekday morning reports that focus on the news of the day and stories that will most likely be covered by NBC Nightly News the following evening. The reports immediately follow the NBC Nightly News morning editorial meeting. Early Nightly is also available on NBC affiliate Web sites and NBC Mobile. This show offers a digital podcast. A podcast is a downloadable video or audio broadcast show. Most podcasts are available by subscription through an RSS reader or other aggregator. The fundamentals of working with podcasters are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to watch or listen to their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted.
