News is the communication of information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience.

History of news reporting

In its infancy, news gathering was primitive by today's standards. Printed news had to be phoned in to a newsroom or brought there by a reporter, where it was typed and either transmitted over wire services or edited and manually set in type along with other news stories for a specific edition. Today, the term "Breaking News" has become trite as broadcast and cable news services use live satellite technology to bring current events into consumers' homes live as they happen. Events that used to take hours or days to become common knowledge in towns or in nations are fed instantaneously to consumers via radio, television, cell phones, and the Internet.

How do I write a summary for a news article? And an overall summary of all the articles?
Q. I need to write 14 individual summaries for 14 different news articles article. Because these articles all have the same theme- human rights in china, i also have to write one big summary including stuff from the news articles about the theme (human rights). I already have all the news articles and i have highlighted all the main points in each article. What should my format be like and how long should the summaries be? It would also be helpful to know exactly how to write a summary. Thanks!
Asked by AmericanBornChinese - Sat Aug 25 08:50:18 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your best bet would be to summarize the leads (first paragraph) of the stories. Or look at the first three paragraphs of the stories. That is generally what the crux of the story is about. You could summarize by writing something like, "Recent news reports about human rights in China show that ___" Focus on the main themes and highlight at least three points from the stories. Good luck.

What is a recent news story depicting a company making an ethical decision?
Q. I am writing a paper on professional values and ethics and need an example of a company making the news with positive ethical behavior rather than the all to abundant unethical examples. Anyone have any suggestions?

A. I read around christmas time a story of Sears not only saving the jobs of service men while they were serving, but continuing their pay as well. So that the families would not have to suffer as well, combat pay is not much. That is the only one that comes to mind at this point.

How come the liberal news media and newspapers have rarely referred to Illinois Gov.Rod Blagojevich as a ?
Q. Democrat? You know if he were a Republican, the Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow and Keith Olberman's of the liberal news shows would be calling for his head and always referring to him as a Republican Gov, etc, right-wing wacko, etc. They rarely say what is he, and that is a disgraced Democrat, you agree?

A. Yes I do agree, but the main stream media is so biased anyway it really doesn't matter. They (msm) are the ones that picked and chose who our president would be not the voters. In this last presidential election the (msm) treated Obama like he was a God and he could do no wrong, in essence, pushing Obama on the voters, and the voters fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Nobody in the DNC checked into Mr. Obama's eligibility to be president by him being born in the United States even when it was brought up by several people,in lawsuits the subject was mainly ignored by (msm). I would think being unable to serve as president because of being born outside of the United States would be front page headlines, but as biased as msm is they… [cont.]
