My Definition of News
Basically, news is newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events. Things that matter to people are only displayed as news. Yes, anybody can post anything they want or however they want portraying as "news" but the audience reading it or watching it only focuses on things that are important to them and the things that are actually trending all over the world. Generally, there are two types of news, hard news and soft news. In simple words, hard news are serious news which include international news, political news, business and economic news and health or education news. Whereas soft news are news related to entertainment or celebrity, lifestyle, arts and culture or sports.
According to me, news is something that provides certain information that can keep me updated on what's going on around the world. I usually find out most of the news from social media. Nowadays news are posted almost everywhere. From newspapers and magazines to television and all the various social media, news are literally posted everywhere. So for me, the easiest way to get hold of news is social media as I am on my social media maximum time of the day. News posted in the social media are equally reliable as the news posted in newspapers or shown in the news channels.
In general, all kinds of news are important to me as well as interesting. It is true for a fact that hard news are more important than other type of news but other kinds of news can be a source of entertainment for the readers. So I personally prefer to read through all kinds of news because more information is never harmful. A news only becomes stronger and appealing to the readers when it has sources. If there isn't a reliable source or a meaningful zest to the news then the readers might not accept the news or they might even ignore it completely. I mostly prefer to read soft news which includes the news of entertainment section but that doesn't mean I neglect hard news. Being a student majoring in Mass Media, I find it essential to go through all kinds of news and stay more informative.
