Defining 'News'

 News is media coverage of information and events that are most often current and noteworthy. Be it internet, television, radio, newspaper, we are constantly being berated with news. With recent advances in social media, news has branched out from just current, important events reported on at five or six o’clock. Social media has drastically changed news and how we receive it.
Today, news encompasses everything from world-wide happenings to what Kanye is going to babble about at the next music awards. Because news is now made readily available by social media, I would go as far as to say that almost any affair is considered news when reported on.

I receive my news primarily from social media, but the only news I usually care to read is about music. The top of my social media list is Facebook which is where I receive just about all of my news. When staying with relatives I get to watch the usual, local news and ABC.

I hardly watch television if it’s not internet television, but I do on occasion watch/listen to the Alex Jones Show, a controversial radio show that can be also be viewed live. CNN is the news outlet I will watch to follow important or shocking news stories. Twitter is new for me, but I am also getting news from there as well. Preferably, if I'm going to watch the news I'd rather it be from the mouth of Steven Colbert.
