News:
News can be defined as, reporting different events that have
taken place. They can be either in print or for TV

from each other.

usually only have a short amount of time to air their story

They are the gatekeepers, allowing the accounts of some events,
but not others, to reach the reading public or the audience
watching it on TV

a dog that is news.(Charles Anderson Dana, American

rest is advertising. (Lord North cliffe, British publisher 1865-

 To a journalist, good news is often not news at all. (Phil
Donahue, American entertainer, b. 1935)
 Good stories flow like honey but bad stories stick in the craw
[gullet]. What is a bad story? It's a story that cannot be
absorbed in the first time of reading. It's a story that leaves
questions unanswered.(Arthur Christiansen, British newspaper
editor, 1904-1963)
