The Wide World of News and Media

News is all the information that is gathered all around the world and shared every single day. News can be made in many forms, whether it be the most recent speech by the president, the latest fashion trend that's sweeping the globe, or the meltdown of a baseball team that was up 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th, only to let the game slip away once again. News can shock and awe the public, it can bore and disengage those who seemingly don't care, but the one certainty of news is that when it happens, people know.

Media is the people that take news and bring it to the masses. Members of the media include reporters, writers, analysts, an just about everyone who lets large groups know what is happening on the great big ball we call earth. Sometimes members of the media use dirty tactics to get the information they so desire, the juicy stuff that will attain the most followers to their outlet. But what media contributes most to society is that it allows people over vast distances to obtain the information needed to keep up to date with what is happening where they are not.
