News

News is any information about whose revelation is anticipated to have an intellectual or actionable impact on the recipient. This information could add insight to an existing topic, or could pertain to current events. News can be disseminated using any available communications vehicle, such as word of mouth, public address system, postal letter, print, broadcast or the Internet. Some forms of news dissemination are intended for a single person, while others are directed towards a mass audience. Mass audiences could consist of a spatially-diverse group of individuals (such as those listening to a radio or television broadcast), or could consist of a temporally-diverse set of individuals, such as those reading a news blog on the Internet.
