news

News is information about current events. This may be provided through many different media: word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, or through the testimony of observers and witnesses to events.
Common topics for news reports include war, government, politics, education, health, the environment, economy, business, fashion, and entertainment, as well as athletic events, quirky or unusual events. Government proclamations, concerning royal ceremonies, laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times. Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news, which they satisfy by talking to each other and sharing information. Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper.

    Sophy Ridge - The Hub on Sky News

    Sophy is hosting a new politics show, The Hub, starting this Monday September 4th from 7pm to 8pm. I came to prefer her to Laura Kuenssberg on the Sunday political programme.

    Clickbait news articles - good or bad?

    Personally i find them annoying - as whether or not they are in agreement with my politics or core values, I know they are attempting to manipulate me & others just to generate hits & therefore revenue, plus they are often used to distract from more important/relevant issues.

    When should a celeb be "outed" for misdeeds?
