There is always sleaze in the news. And you know what? The news is always a combination of things that are interesting and things that are important.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
News is something that happens that matters to you, which is not most of what we watch on television.
It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.
Well, news is anything that's interesting, that relates to what's happening in the world, what's happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.
To a journalist, good news is often not news at all.
People can get their news any way they want. What I love about what's happened is that there are so many different avenues, there are so many different outlets, so many different ways to debate and discuss and to inquire about any given news story.
Without the balancing context of everyday life, all you have is the news, and news by its nature is generally bad.
What we call 'the news' always has tried to tell a story, and it's always told the story it wanted or, put most positively, whatever story it believed needed telling.
Political reporters no longer get to decide what's news. The days when a minister gave briefings to a dozen lobby correspondents, and thereby dictated the next day's headlines, are over. Now, a thousand bloggers decide for themselves what is interesting. If enough of them are tickled then, bingo, you're news.
In most cases, the news is not really news. But in some cases, discoveries are made and should be listened to.
Why, I wonder, should the popularity of a news story matter to me? Does it mean it's a good story or just a seductive one?
