News is any single new information or 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 bad is the news of the high Democratic turnout in Iowa for Republicans?
Q. According to Howard Dean, about twice as many Democrats voted in the Iowa caucus as Republicans, even though the Democrats and Republicans in Iowa are about evenly divided. How bad is this news for Republicans? Is it an early indication that Republicans will lose badly in November?
Asked by Tall Green Alien - Thu Jan 3 22:03:17 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If this is any indicator of how the entire election season will turn out, then things do not bode well for the GOP. Contrary to an earlier post, it is actually the Republicans that are in a fractured state right now. There is no one single candidate that could bring the conservative base together and woo moderates/independents together. With Romney, you have the country club business elites who see him as serving their interests while the "down home" social conservative ilk putting their support behind Huckabee. Giuliani seems to be not interested in the early caucuses/primaries and it may come back to bite him in the long run. Thompson lacks any enthusiasm whatsoever and really has no business running for office. Of course, let's… [cont.]
