The News and Media: Universal and Unique

News is a universal concept that even though it is different to everyone it still remains strong and active in societies. An important factor about news is what is of timely importance to a college freshman can be very different than the seasoned businessman on Wall Street. Nonetheless it is all still news. The idea that something happened outside the tedium’s of day-to-day activity makes it news. No matter what the news source, Perezhilton.com, or CNN.com, E news or Fox News the same fact still remains, that something that is happening that hadn’t happened before, is then offered to the public. When the audience changes, the content changes, but it is still news because wars and politics are not the only thing classified as news. The Media on the other hand is the way in which the audience gets the information (whatever information that may be). It’s the Mediums used to convey the story: a website, a new station, or newspaper. The Media is more what we tend to fall in love with these days, which is why we have favorite political talk show hosts, or late night hosts, or local TV stations. Different personalities of The Media exist in our society and goes hand in hand with getting the news to the audience.
