Exercise 2. Defining the NEWS.

Defining the word News seems like a pretty broad answer. News today is only there for the facts. You only hear about what has happen or whats going to happen. When i watch the news i never hear anything about the newcasters have to say about the topic. Not hearing their opinions, and just the facts, help you to assume that these are the real facts. If you wanted to find some opinions the interenet would be you best guess. Blogs are usually full of the writers opinions and not the most reliable facts but they are pretty close. I personally do not go on the internet for my news because i like to hear it more that read it so i just watch channel 2 or channel 4. Both of these news channels are very reliable because they give you the local news fast and pretty detailed. That is a major qualification for a good new source. These channels have to compete with others to get the news out first and these two channels are pretty good at beating the crowd. They also give you alot of good statistics many different stories. Everything from the upcoming election to who has the best food in town, they have the winners from what the polls say.

All in all the news is a place where people can get the facts fast.
