News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.’
Why would somebody want to stop news reaching an audience?
The change has been driven by digital technology. We no longer have to wait for the broadcaster to schedule a news bulletin or news programme. In the wireless universe, news is becoming personalised, and is available on demand as and when we, the audience, want it.
You can sign up to receive news alerts on your mobile phone, or on your laptop and on your desktop computer. You can get football results, cricket scores and the latest stock market figures sent directly to your mobile. News is available on PDAs and other wireless handheld devices.
For example you can get software free from the BBC that will send to your desktop your choice of breaking news alerts hourly, or with pop ups.
You can text 81010 and start the message with the word NEWS and the BBC will send you a link for news directly to your mobile. http://www.bbc.co.uk
You can choose to have news from your favourite websites sent to you via RSS news feeds. These allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and video in one place, as soon as its published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from. Feeds are known as RSS.
There is some discussion as to what RSS stands for, but most agree on ‘Really Simple Syndication’. In essence, the feeds are web pages, designed to be read by computers, which then deliver news to you.
Radio and television is becoming interactive, using emails, text messages and phone calls as part of their current affairs programmes. The audience is becoming part of the programme rather than a passive recipient of it.
News is not just provided by broadcasters. News Agencies service all news providers who subscribe to them, for example:
Analysing The News
Audiences, on the whole, tend to regard their chosen news source as reliable, as coming from an authoritative, largely impartial perspective. They trust the information they receive as news, and believe it to be "true". This is not necessarily the case, as you will know if you have ever been involved in a news story yourself. As a Media Studies student, you will be asked to appraise the news with a critical eye - you may be surprised at some of the "truths' that you uncover about this very important media form.
Where Does News Come From?
News is often identified with the person reporting it - whether that is the journalist writing the story or the one fronting the TV report. However, a great deal of the news is fed from other sources - the journalist is only summarising a wire report, or official statement. News is often supplied to newspapers, radios and TV stations by a news agency. Two of the most famous global agencies are Reuters and Agence France Presse (AFP).
Therefore, those who present the news to us construct it from other sources in the same way that any other media textmaker would. News consists of an artificial narrative, with stories shaped around a beginning, middle and an end. There is also a hierarchy of news - a series of news values that editors and other gatekeepers use in order to decide which news stories to communicate - and in what order.
What's the Story?
The basic questions you always need to ask are:
WHO did this story happen to?
WHAT happened?
WHERE did it happen?
WHEN did it happen?
WHY did it happen?
You might also want to ask
WHO wants to read this story?
WHAT is going to happen next?
WHERE are effects of this story going to be felt?
WHEN did this story first appear?
WHY is this story categorised as important news?
