   There is no single acceptable definition of news 
   because the elements that constitute news are 
   constantly changing, and so are the women and 
   men who select it for the print and broadcast. 
    The dramatic social, economic, political and 
   technologies changes sweeping the world have a 
     profound impact in saying it an news.
        What is news?
  Whatever new happens forms news. Whenever 
  something unusual, unparallel, extra-ordinary, 
   exceptional event, incident, happening or 
  development takes place, the formation of news 
          begins.
   “Everything that happens” or “anything you 
     didn’t know yesterday” makes news.
   It is what people “talk about” or what  “readers 
    want to know.” it is what a reporter “finds 
   satisfaction in writing” or  “what a well trained 
     editor decides to put in his paper”
   News is not static. It has no rigid rules or 
          framework. 
  One of the great city editors of all time, Stanley 
   Walker of the New York Herald Tribune, said 
  “news is more of unpredictable than the winds. 
    Sometimes it is the  repetition with new 
  characters of tales as old as pyramids, and again, 
    it may be almost outside the common 
         experiences.”
   Joseph Pultizer, 19th century publisher of New 
     york World, had his own definition, he 
   instructed his editors and reporters to look for 
     stories that were, “original, distinctive, 
   romantic, thrilling, unique, curious, humours, 
      odd and apt-to-be talked about.”
