News Versus Media

What is News? News is any kind of information shared from one source to another. News does not have to be anything important or relevant as long as it is shared from one source to another and is new information to at least one of these sources. What is media? Media is the vessel that distributes news to the general public. Media can take several forms; it can be magazines, newspapers, television, and radio just to name a few. The media decides what is considered news worthy in our society. Everything that we hear on a daily basis is what the media deems relevant. Though the media can pick and choose what we see and hear it is necessary for the distribution of news; because without media society would be unable to receive as much information as it does.
