The news is the communication on the of information on current events which is presented by print, broadcast, Internet, or word of mouth to a third party or mass audience.

History of news reporting

In its infancy, news gathering was primitive by today's standards. Printed news had to be phoned in to a newsroom or brought there by a reporter, where it was typed and either transmitted over wire services or edited and manually set in type along with other news stories for a specific edition. Today, the term "breaking news" has become trite as broadcast and cable news services use live satellite technology to bring current events into consumers' homes live as they happen. Events that used to take hours or days to become common knowledge in towns or in nations are fed instantaneously to consumers via radio, television, mobile phone, and the Internet.

A. I wish I knew who you were and where you went to school because I would call your teacher and tell him or her that you are cheating! If you read the questions, they are asking YOU not us what you think! if we answer them then you have not done the work, we have, Do we get to share in the grade too? Here is just one of the hundreds of Academic Codes that I am sure your college has as well. This sample is from Brown University: Academic achievement is ordinarily evaluated on the basis of work that a student produces independently. Students who submit academic work that uses others' ideas, words, research, or images without proper attribution and documentation are in violation of the academic code.

What are some of the qualities of a legitimate, unbiased news organization?
Q. For example, one trait exhibited by legitimate news organizations is that when they print or read out "letters to the editor," they do not only select letters that agree with their take on things or praise them. They select both complimentary and critical letters. Moreover, when they do select critical letters, they do not reply with sarcasm, ad hominem attacks, a counter attack, or by rolling their eyes. In fact, they usually do not reply at all. They just let the readers or listeners decide for themselves whether the criticism is valid or not. What are some other examples of traits the differentiate legitimate professional news organizations from news organizations run by spin doctors? Does taking a certain political position… [cont.]

A. Wow, someone who writes questions like I do (replete with follow-up commentary and additional queries). Nice! Your first answerer raises a valid point about objectivity. It is damn near impossible for any media outlet to be completely impartial and unbiased in their news gathering and reporting. That said, one could make the same argument about judges, law enforcement agencies, doctors or any other professions and professional organizations. We all have minds of our own and opinions and viewpoints to match. But somebody has to report the news. So, in answer to your question, I would add the role of an official ombudsman to your list of ideas to improve quality and maintain some appearance of impartiality. An ombudsman's job is to… [cont.]

What is a good news channel to get unbiased news from?
Q. I am sick of news stations that give biased, one sided news. What is the best news station to get both sides of the issues? I meant one sided opinions, not news. Sorry about that.

A. A week or so ago I would have said that the BBC was the most unbiased news channel that is until they refused to air a program supporting aid to Gaza which in my book means that it supports Israel. Having watched Alzezzera for a while they at least have the courage to show both sides of the coin
