India News
News is essentially information on current affairs. This can be given through a variety of media: print, oral, photographic, televised, wire services, radio, and news agencies. This is the information disseminated to the general public. In reporting news, the news media play an important role. It informs the public, distributes news in short intervals, and helps in its distribution. In other words, news helps facilitate public information.
The major advantages of this medium are that it is widespread, accessible, and immediate. It is not edited or changed in any way, which provides a fair way of reporting and interpreting news events in an impartial way. News can be general, such as breaking news or international events, or it can be specific such as sporting events, local or national events, or political events and happenings. The media also facilitates instant news on specific topics, such as weather forecasts.
As news agencies provide a pool of news, it is not essential for a local newspaper to be present at the time of occurrence. News agencies also give help in locating and booking hotels and transport, and providing guides to tourists. They also provide information on local festivals and shows. News agencies can be freelancers, small and medium enterprises, or large established media companies.
A freelancer writes articles and briefs for news agencies, newspapers, magazines, radio stations, cable news channels, and websites. He or she can also be an online writer who write for blogs, news portals, and for the users on social networking websites. A web journalist researches and writes about the latest happenings on the internet, and interprets the news accurately and competently.
Large news agencies, such as CNN or The Associated Press, have their own news bureaus. These agencies also provide their subscribers with news and multimedia content. In India, news websites such as Zee News, Bollywood Bazaar, IBN news, and others also publish news articles. They also provide space for live reports, interviews, and commentaries. News agencies have their own websites, which also provides news content.
Internet has provided many other opportunities to the public. Some news agencies have their own websites on the internet, which provide all-source news. These news websites are a great resource for those interested in global news. Many news agencies now have their online news readership, which is increasing day by day. Some news agencies are even providing news content on their mobile phones. Online news provides a medium through which one can easily get current information from anywhere around the world.
