2.00 Introduction: What is News?

      News is something that comes different to different people. News can be heard on the radio during the drive to school or work. News can be viewed in videos on the television or on the Internet. News can also be read in newspapers or on the Internet. To me, news is simply the latest information. News is not defined by the source that it comes from, but rather by the information being given. 

      News can also be given through friends. For example, if a friend watches television or sees the latest video on YouTube, they can easily relay the information to another friend. From there, that person might tell many other people or post this information on a personal blog they have. News has a way of coming from almost anywhere, as long as it begins from a reliable source. 

      News and communication fall hand in hand with each other, but differ at the same time. For example, two friends or colleagues can be communicating about the latest story on the late night news. Also, in order to get a news story with different perspectives from each side of the story, communication is necessary. Communication is needed to interview each person and gain their views. However, communication between friends is different than news shared with the whole world.
