This document discusses the key elements that determine if something is newsworthy or not. It identifies timeliness, prominence, proximity, human interest, negativity, and consequence as the main news determinants. Timeliness refers to how recent an event is. Prominence means important people are newsworthy. Proximity means local news has more value than distant news. Human interest involves elements like conflict, emotion, and oddity. Negativity refers to bad news being more newsworthy than good news. Consequence relates to how an event directly impacts readers.
The news agencies, also known as wire services, are among the most powerful and trusted names in news business. Some of them like Reuters have been in existence since the nineteenth century.
However, few are aware of their reach or existence. They do not own physical properties such as newspapers or television channels. But they generate news for all forms of media. Their subscribers include newspapers, magazines, radio stations, television networks and now news sites.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. News Determinants
(Introduction To Journalism)
Submitted to Muhammad Ahmad Sheikh
(Emeritus Professor at UMT). Ex- Deputy
Controller Radio Pakistan)
4. Timeliness
News is perishable. It loses value as it
ages.
Readers want to know now. What
happened yesterday, last night, or this
morning is more newsworthy than
what happened last week.
5. Prominence
Important people are newsworthy; others
aren’t.
Politicians, actors, singers--
anyone in the public arena or
public eye--are newsworthy.
6. Proximity
News closer to home has more news
value than that from far away.
A fire in Mexico is less
newsworthy than a fire in your
hometown. However, if something
happens far away but involves
local people, then the news value
increases because of proximity
7. Human Interest
1) Oddity:
Readers are intrigue by the unusual or
out-of-the-ordinary.
It is unusual for people to
know that a man shot
himself in the head.
9. 3) Emotion
Readers become emotionally involved in
stories about children, animals, etc. Other
stories can evoke humor, sympathy, anger,
etc.
10. Negativity
Bad news is more newsworthy than good
news.
Shahid Afridi hits his
fan.
11. Consequence
News which directly affects readers has
more news value.
The greater the impact of
the information upon the
readers, or the more
readers affected by the
information, the greater
the news value of that
information.
