Answer:
live reports of news events as they happened
Explanation:
The invention of radio and television make possible the transmission of live reports of news events as they happened, which couldn't happen with the written press.
multiple editions related to each day's news: yes, newspapers did that... with morning and evening editions.
long-form journalism and related genres: a long-form report could easily be published in a newspaper in multiple daily segments.
simultaneous broadcasting of the day's news: Evening newspapers were reporting about events/news that occured that same day.
This part of the thesis would be considered the topic, more specifically it would be considered the <em>introduction of the topic to study</em> since the thesis revolves around, I assume, Isaac Newton and you are offering a brief 'summary' of his life and accomplishments.
However if the reason to mention Sir Isaac Newton is to support an idea or a statement this could be considered a subtopic. It is subjective and directly related to the field of study you're doing the thesis for.
Hope this helps!
