News is any type of information, that has occurred or happened over the course of a day, a week or a year. It is ever flowing and is always changing around us. It can be about something as interesting and dramatic as a terrorist attack or it can be about something that is less intense such as what sports team won the night before. News can bring people together and news can push people apart. Because news is happening all around us and it is constantly changing it needs to find a way to become distributed quickly. This job is given to the media. The media consists of multiple industries that are designed to gather up information and share it with the world. Whether it is through the form of magazines, television, radio, or the internet, different parts of the news are examined and shared with the public. It is the job of the media to ask the tough questions and find answers to inform the public. Different types of media share specific news stories which are aimed at being pertinent to peoples lives. For example a magazine such as “People” might discuss news such as a celebrity break up and a newspaper such as “The Boston Globe” might discuss a story such as the effects of a republican taking former Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate. Different media industries are geared toward different people but they all share one main idea in common, gathering the news, composing it and sharing it with the public.
