-NEWS means Notable Events, Weather and Sports
-News is information about current events. This may be provided through many different media: word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication etc
-Common topics for news reports include war, government, politics, education, health, the environment, economy, business, fashion, and entertainment, as well as athletic events, quirky or unusual events.
-Government proclamations, concerning laws, taxes, public health, and criminals, have been dubbed news since ancient times.
-Humans exhibit a nearly universal desire to learn and share news, which they satisfy by talking to each other and sharing information. -Technological and social developments, often driven by government communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which news can spread, as well as influenced its content. -The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the newspaper.
-Most purveyors of news value impartiality, neutrality, and objectivity, despite the inherent difficulty of reporting without political bias.
-Perception of these values has changed greatly over time as sensationalized ‘tabloid journalism’ has risen in popularity.
-Michael Schudson has argued that before the era of World War I and the concomitant rise of propaganda, journalists were not aware of the concept of bias in reporting, let alone actively correcting for it.
-News is also sometimes said to portray the truth, but this relationship is elusive and qualified.
-Paradoxically, another property commonly attributed to news is sensationalism, the disproportionate focus on, and exaggeration of, emotive stories for public consumption.
-This news is also not unrelated to gossip, the human practice of sharing information about other humans of mutual interest.
-A common sensational topic is violence; hence another news dictum, “if it bleeds, it leads”.
-News broadcasting is the medium of broadcasting of various news events and other information via television, radio, or internet in the field of broadcast journalism.
-The content is usually either produced locally in a radio studio or television studio newsroom, or by a broadcast network.
-It may also include additional material such as sports coverage weather forecasts, traffic reports, commentary, and other material that the broadcaster feels is relevant to their audience.
-Television news refers to disseminating current events via the medium of television. A “news bulletin” or a “newscast” are television programs lasting from seconds to hours that provide updates on international, national, regional, and/or local news events.
-Television news is very visually-based, showing video footage of many of the events that are reported; still photography is also used in reporting news stories, although not as much in recent years as in the early days of broadcast television. Television channels may provide news bulletins as part of a regularly scheduled news program. Less often, television shows may be interrupted or replaced by breaking news reports (“news flashes”) to provide news updates on events of great importance.
-In India first telecast began in Delhi on 14 September 1959, with a small transmitter and a makeshift studio.
-But Regular daily transmission started in 1965 as part of All India Radio, with a five-minute news bulletin read by Ms Pratima Puri.
-As of June 2016 the total number of Television Channels were 892 out of which 403 were news and current affairs channels
-There is an explicit expectation that the media’s coverage should be “positive” and follow the official line.
