What is News?

News is what the fourth estate generally interests itself in (if it is doing its job correctly). Mostly its just a series of facts that create a story, and that story has some spin or angle put on it by the writer, that then gets parred and edited by an Editor, which at some point is delivered to you, the viewer/reader/user. That is the news in a nutshell, congruent facts comprising of a story that interest an individual. Other, more strict definitions of news exist, such as only stories that are not fluff pieces or only the most sophisticated stories, but I prefer to have a broad definition because what each person considers "newsworthy" is a matter of personal opinion.
