The World Needs News and Media

News is talked about and shared all over the world, but what exactly is news? News is current information, relevant to the public, that they are not educated on yet. News can be information about a country on the other side of the world or information about your next-door neighbor. Conflict is often in the news because it intrigues people; they want to see what is happening and if it affects them. However, news is not only about conflict. Sports can be news, celebrities can be news, everyday people can be news. News is anything the public is interested in. Media is how news is shared all over the world. Sources such as newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and internet are all considered media. Media is available in many forms so it can be reach as many people around the world as it possibly can. Because media is available in so many different ways it can communicate the news with people in higher classes and people in lower classes; everyone will get the same news. Media is important because it lets people all over the world communicate with each other. Without media, news would not be as popular around the world.
