What is News?

I think that news is any current information that is spread to people around the world. News can be in many different forms. Some common forms of news are newspapers, magazines, tv, radio, and internet. Different people may be interested in different types of news like politics or news about their favorite celebrity.

News is a form of communication. It is different from other forms of communication because it can be distributed  to a wide range of people in a short period of time unlike the common person to person communication. An example of this is when something needs to be addressed to the country immediately it is always broadcasted on a national news station or news paper.

The way news has spread hasn't always been the same as it is now. In earlier years the fastest way for news to be spread was by horseback and this method took weeks to distribute the news. Fortunately newer and efficient ways of news have been invented so that we can hear about news as soon as it happens.
