The News and the Media are so entrenched in today’s society that it is nearly impossible to conceive our lives without them. News is a series of reports on the happenings around us and in the rest of the world. News coverage can range from a description of an act of violence in the Middle East, to the president’s latest speech and then to which celebrity won which award. No matter what the story is, there will inevitably be a group of people that will be interested in hearing or reading about it. Journalistic scholars judge the value of news according to three criteria: relevance, usefulness and interest.
The news is projected through the media, which can take many forms. Newspapers, television, radio, magazines, websites and so on are all different types of media that feed us our daily news. With today’s powerful technology, we can receive the news instantaneously even if it’s taking place in another country. People, organizations and even governments rely heavily on both the media and the news.
