What is news?
According to Dr. Stewart's notes news can be defined as "New information about a subject of some public interest that is sahred with some portion of the public" [found at Blackboard Academic Suite].
In my opinion news are important information for a specific group delivered as fast as possible through all the possible mediums. In our world speed is the winner and as far as news concerned the first who will be delivered the message is the winner. In our days we have lot of ways to learn about the news. Personally, i don't believe what i see or what i hear for the first time especially news which some times are not totally true. I believe that all of us have to filter the information-news that we get because journalists lot of times are making "mistakes" by giving news. Moreover, many times we have seen news which are showed as news but unfortunately we have propaganda in different ways. This is more often, especially in our days, where mediums are under the hands of few people and governments.
A very good weapon i believe is that we can check and double check the news which we are receiving. Through personalized mails, audience can choose the specific sources of news who wants to receive and believes as accurate. Moreover it's easy in our days to check the news through internet.
