What is News?

I believe news is the transfer of information from one source to another. Whether this is through verbal communication, viral, or otherwise; news is information that is revealed from one to another. Typically news is revealed to the public from a higher source such as a television station or a press conference; however, if I tell my friend of something important this can be considered "big news" to him. Therefore, I see the term "news" as the idea of informing another individual or more of something they did not perviously know. News is very important to establishing honesty and trust, unfortunately it can often be biased or the facts diluted. It is essential that news be reported promptly and truthfully otherwise we would remain less educated and naive about the world.
