News is the communication 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, cell phones, and the Internet.

What positive news about the Clinton campaign is the media ignoring?
Q. I've seen many that assert that the media is biased against Sen. Clinton because now there is only positive news about the Obama campaign and negative news about the Clinton campaign. Please tell me some positive news about the Clinton campaign that is going unreported.

A. The media isn't 'ignoring' any positive news about the Clinton campaign - Hillary is well ahead and going to win Pennsylvania; And bully for her - Give her credit for winning the big states. But the media is also trying to do their job and tell it like it is - That even if hillary wins all the rest of the states by wide margins (And that's highly unlikely); Her chances of overtaking Obama's lead now are very slim. They are not trying to force her out; They are just trying to remind us that this thing is just about a foregone conclusion already. The problem is they get shouted down by the Hillary fans (because a prolonged campaign is crucial to their very thin hopes) and the Republicans (because a prolonged nomination battle can only help… [cont.]
