News

News is the information about current events that people pass through word of mouth, newspapers, postal systems, radio, television and electronic communication. It is usually a neutral account of what is happening and the significance of the event or occurrence. It may also include a’soft’ element such as the weather forecast or a human interest story.

People tend to be interested in the news and want to keep up with what is going on around them. It is for this reason that news has a great deal of utility. People can get a lot of information from news that help them in many ways, from the weather forecasts to train timings, and even about different educational courses and opportunities for higher studies etc.

Another important aspect of news is its credibility. This is achieved through the principle of ‘objectivity and fairness’. Objectivity means that the journalist must not have any personal or political bias and fairness requires that the reporter gives both sides of the story equal treatment.

Before submitting any news article it is important to know the audience. This can be done by knowing the demographic of the newspaper or website you are writing for. This helps in deciding the voice and tone of the article. It is also advisable to have the article read by someone else before submission. This will ensure that spelling and grammatical errors are not overlooked. It will also help in making the article more concise and to the point.
