One service that was not available in the early days of clipping services is video monitoring. Both Luce and Burrelle’s offer a variety of video information, from videotapes of shows and topics ($75 each from Luce in Beta, VHS, and U-MATIC formats) to transcripts of specific television shows (Burrelle’s also offers radio transcription services at $40 a month).
If you need national periodical clipping or video monitoring, these are the big kids on the block. But if you check your local Yellow Pages, you can usually find local clipping services that can handle
regional news much cheaper than either of these companies.
