News is the communication of information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience.

History of news reporting

In its infancy, news gathering was primitive by today's standards. Printed news had to be phoned in to a newsroom or brought there by a reporter, where it was typed and either transmitted over wire services or edited and manually set in type along with other news stories for a specific edition. Today, the term "breaking news" has become trite as broadcast and cable news services use live satellite technology to bring current events into consumers' homes live as they happen. Events that used to take hours or days to become common knowledge in towns or in nations are fed instantaneously to consumers via radio, television, mobile phone, and the Internet.

A. I know what you mean.I miss the days when a 'Newsflash' made everyone stop what they were doing and your Mum would shout 'quick somethings happened!' and something genuinely newsworthy would be announced like a major disaster or the death of someone important.Now everything is breaking news and no one raises an eyebrow.Something humungous is going to happen and we'll all miss it!

What is the difference between a broadcast news analyst and a news reporter?
Q. I've been doing research and it seems that a news analyst finds the news while a broadcast news reporter only reads it. is that true?

A. An analyst gives his or her opinions about a major news event. Let's say, GM declares bankruptcy. An analyst would explain why and what should be done next. On the other hand, a broadcast news reporter would say what happened.

What is the best source for independent news on the internet?
Q. I am tired of the same story being told 7 different ways. I am looking for a site that will give a far larger variety of news and sources. In this day and age, it is silly to have the same news story retold by everyone, leaving the rest of the news to remain untold.

A. Al Jazeera does an excellent job. Stories are written for an international audience, so there are a lot of stories that don't directly related to the United States (if that's where you're from), but they are the most important news stories in the world. They really have their priorities straight, never focusing on celebrity gossip or that nonsense. The coverage itself is fair and balanced.
