News

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

News is a form of communication that provides information about recent events. News can be disseminated through various media, including print, broadcast, internet, and word of mouth. The term "news" comes from the plural of the Old English word "new", which means "new information".

History

The concept of news has existed since ancient times. In ancient Rome, for example, Acta Diurna were daily Roman official notices, posted in public places, that contained news about everything from military campaigns to social events.

In the Middle Ages, handwritten newsletters circulated among merchants, typically filled with information about politics, war, the economy, and other topics of interest.

The invention of the printing press in the 15th century allowed for the distribution of news to a wider audience. The first newspapers appeared in Europe in the 17th century, and by the 18th century, newspapers were common in many parts of the world.

Types of News

News can be categorized into different types, including:

  • Hard news: This refers to serious news of widespread import, such as politics, international affairs, and business news.
  • Soft news: This refers to news that is more entertaining or less serious, such as celebrity news or human interest stories.
  • Fake news: This refers to false information presented as news. It often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue.

News Media

News is disseminated through various types of media:

  • Newspapers: These are typically daily or weekly publications that contain news, features, and advertising.
  • Television news: This is a form of broadcasting that provides news to viewers via television.
  • Online news: This is news that is published on the internet. It can include text, video, and interactive elements.
