Types of News

News

There are many different forms of news. They can be described as “Good News” or “Bad News.” Sometimes, news is referred to as “hard news” to differentiate it from “soft news”. The objective is to inform readers of the latest events and developments in society. Various types of news are available to people, including the Internet, TV, and radio.

Good

If you are looking for a new way to read the news, why not check out the Good News Network? This app is a great substitute for your usual news provider, and has a podcast produced by Good News Gurus. It features stories about the good things in the world, as well as a Spanish-language section.

Bad

A recent study found that news consumers prefer stories about bad things to those about good things. People who follow current affairs and politics were more likely to choose bad news. However, those who were not interested in these topics were more likely to pick good news stories. The researchers claim that this is an example of negativity bias, a collective desire to hear negative stories.

Ugly

A recent article from Mark Luckie entitled 10 Ugly Truths of Modern Journalism revealed a few things about the modern news business. The first is that most journalists fall into the trap of nostalgic thinking and an overblown sense of higher purpose. The second is that the stories that sell are those that people want to read.

Timely

Timely news is news that is relevant and new. For example, a story about gas prices may not be timely if they happened last week, or even last month. On the other hand, a story about the discovery of a new species of dinosaur is likely to be timely and new if the discovery is recent.

Impactful

To be considered newsworthy, a story must have an impact that goes beyond the ordinary. This impact depends on many factors, including the size of the affected population and the amount of resources involved. The more extreme an event is, the more impact it will have.

Local

Local news is coverage of events in a specific area. It does not have a national or international scope.

Relevant to human activity

Human activities are intentional sequences of actions that can have an impact on the environment. Examples of activities include entertainment, manufacturing, recreation, and war. Many types of creative work are also considered relevant to human activity. Both formal and applied science are concerned with human activities.
