02.00 Introduction: What is News?

     When you say, "I need to catch up on my news", what are you really looking for? Are you looking for the sports update? The weather report? Which celebrities are now dating? What is news really? News is any piece of information that someone takes an interest in. To you, your best friend's engagement could be a huge piece of news, or it could be national news like the presidential election. News is shared information.
     News comes in multiple forms. It can be written, broadcasted, or heard from many different sources. News is the common thread that keeps the world connected. It keeps us informed about local events, national events, close friends, and distant strangers. When someone reads the newspaper, it's almost like they have a special look into the world and can form their own opinions about the headlines they read.
     News is the information we want to know about. It includes all the juicy details, all the inside looks, and the opinion of others, for the entertainment of others. News can be factual or opinion based. Some even include both. But either way, news the scoop the public is interested in.
