The concept of News
News is one of the best known commodities in today’s world. Everybody
who understands a language and has access to mass media recognizes it.
The concept of news must have existed even before the beginning of the
era of mass media. One may find relics of a primitive system in remote
tribal areas where people exchange local news during weekly markets just
by talking to one another.
When two friends meet after some time they exchange information which
can be call personal news. Letters written to friends and relatives carry
what can be described as news by them. This kind of information exchange
is continuing since early days of human society in one form or the other.
Every body will agree that death makes news. If a person dies of a disease
or an accident it makes news. The importance of this news is related to to
the importance of the person and / or deadliness of the disease.
Before the era of newspapers and electronic media, news was
communicated by world of mouth. Public announcements by those in
power were communicated to the people by various kinds of drummers.
Such announcements even now dominate the news coverage in the
newspapers, radio and television in almost all countries irrespective of
ideology. Radio and television stations become first targets in coups and
those who snatch power from the old regime use these electronic
drummers for their first announcements.
Though the concept is very old the word “news” is relatively recent in
origin. In English it appeared as “newis” in 1423, “newyes” in 1485 and
evolved to “newes” in 1523. It was only after 1550 that it became “news”
and even in 1622 there was Butler’s Weekly Newes in London while in
1685 we had such sentences as “The amazing newes of Charles at once
were spread”.
News Value
Importance and interest are often described as news values but in fact
these represent the sum total of news values or intrinsic characteristics that
distinguish news from non-news. Identifying and measuring these values is
usually called news sense. It is commonly believed that reporters identify
news by intuition. But this intuition, which should be called news sense,
develops in newspersons who subconsciously learn how to measure news
values.
Change: It is a basic news value. If nothing happens there will be no
change. But the world is not static. Every moment things are different from
the preceding moment. The bigger the change and the more the people
affected by this change the more important it is from the news point of view.
With the emergence of electronic media newspapers are not alone in the
news market. Radio and TV stations all over the world also give news to
their listeners and viewers and are feared as strong competitors of
newspapers which may eventually push the latter out of the market. But
over the years, we have seen that newspapers have survived and the new
shape of newspaper is e-paper, electronic paper and in other ways
Newspaper Website. This is a very strong source of news now a days.
Every person have Android Mobile, Laptop and tablet and they want every
latest and breaking news time to time. Today’s every one have no time to
spend their time in watching TV or listening Radio. Newspaper Websites
are very famous now a days. It is true that it is the best source to get news
immediately and without lose their time. Because you can read news on
website during the work. Here I am sharing a online newspaper website for
clearance of your concept of online newspaper website.
