While mobile devices, the Internet and cable TV make information more accessible, "these are merely tools that are an extension, not just of business plans, but of hearts and minds," former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw said Monday at the NAB convention in Las Vegas. "There will be no delete button for hate and understanding, no cut and paste for poverty, no hold button for natural disasters. The success of our industry will continue to depend on not how we deliver the news, but what we deliver." Former CBS anchor Dan Rather said that technological innovation is necessary, but should not alter journalists' mission. "What I hope will not change is the understanding that news needs to serve the public interest as its primary goal. That is its greatest calling, to keep freedom and independence alive, and keep it honest."
