What is news? What is media?

News is what is new; it’s what’s happening. News is described as a report of recent events or previously unknown information. But most of the things that happen in the world every day don’t find their way into the newspaper or onto the air in a newscast. What makes news newsworthy depends on a variety of factors such as relevance, impact, prominence, useful, conflict, timeliness, interesting, novelty, engagement, solutions, and protinuity. In general, media refers to various means of communication. For example, television, radio, and the newspaper are different types of media. Media can also be referred to objects on which data can be stored.
