The accurate
definition of News would be Information about
recent events or happenings, especially as reported by means of newspapers,
websites, radio, television, and other forms of media, but when you sit
down and read a Newspaper, do you ever think why it’s called a Newspaper? Have
you ever just really thought about the sole purpose of public information,
national information, and international information news? Defining news is more
of a rhetorical perspective. What does news actually do for society? How does
it make us feel? How does it help us keep up with the daily life of the world?When I think of or when I evaluate the concept of News I believe it to be a source that is needed in every single part of the world. I think what defines News the most is how consistent it is or can be with new information. News is important to society for a multiple amount of reasons solely on the fact that public events take place on a daily basis. News can be included in different forms of technology such as mobile apps and social media, which helps increase the needed sources for society when it comes to receiving news or well needed information. Mobile News Apps and Social Media News Pages are proven to be very convenient to keep tabs on important news.
Though
there are four different types of ways to define news, the world may come up
with more definitions of their own based of personal experience, television,
and different case scenarios. It is important to distinguish the various types
of news because the term news is very broad. The major five characteristics of
news help define the concept of news for journalists, reporters, and media
analyst. Accuracy, balance, objectivity, concise and clear, and current are the
five concepts of news. The accuracy of news means correctness. Balance of news
has more to do with specific facts and a steady story. Objectivity, and or
objectives of news are based off of factual reports. Objectivity is one of the
main important characteristics of news because it is one of the most important
principles of journalism. Concise and clear news must be followed accordingly
and effectively as well as current news.
Defining news takes us to detailed aspects, information, and definitions. Different characteristics, different definitions, same purpose, same goal. The purpose and goal of news whether the concept is alike or different remains the same. The purpose and goal of news is to inform individuals in society, as well as advise people in local communities about events that will happen or take place. News is for entertainment purposes as well, but the sole purpose is to update locally, globally, because knowing what is taking place in different areas helps other form perspectives from people in different areas.
Identifying
what news really is can take some time, but I do believe that when defining
news there is no right or wrong objective and definition. As I stated asking
“What is news?”, or defining news is rhetorical for the most part. The
definition of news can be changed or enhanced from my perspective. Defining
news can only add another definition to the dictionary.
