What is news? In today's constantly connected, media centered world, that is the million dollar question. There are many different opinions about what news is today such as "news is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all of the rest is just advertising" Lord Northcliffe. Dictionary.com defines news as "a report or a recent event". With all of these different definitions of what news is, it's hard to know what is true, so I'm here to tell you the truth.
News can be considered almost anything. Most of the word news is made up of "new", so I like to define news as, any type of information that is new to someone. News can be heard in many different ways from the newspaper, the news, magazines, and even just from friends.
To me, news isn't just what you see on television on a news channel, or what you read in the daily
newspaper, it's anything that is new to you. News is when you and your friends gossip over who broke up with who over the weekend, and when Starbucks' Pumpkin Spice Latte is coming back. News is what you read in the celebrity gossip magazines People, and Us Weekly. News still is what you see on television, and what you read in the newspaper, but it is also so much more than that. News is whatever is new to you, and anything you haven't heard before.
