Video art chapter questions

News and video art uses the same materials, however to different effects. Oftentimes the same footage can even be used to both effects, what separates them? The article mentions doing it for payment, but both can be. It also mentions the intent, artistic intent or not, but what changes the meaning from art to news? The article states that the two can have overlapping quantities however are not the same thing, do you agree or disagree?

Over and over we have read criticisms about the new forms of art, whether it be photography or something newer like video art. Yet history shows over and over again that art only grows through change. This article itself shows this in a positive light when talking about the Vasulkas and how they played with the "video" medium, however this article does not mention the critiques that probably went along with the changes (that always go along with change). Do you think there is any form of change that would not be critiqued or will it all be critiqued? Why?
