  2. Definition of News

  3. Definition of News “Well, they teach you in the first week of journalism school that news is change. It’s a hard thing to define. For us, it’s a really big change. Big changes at big companies. Industry trends. Global economic trends…” - Kim Kerstetter, Def. Pg.1

  4. Definition of News “Journalists must make the significant interesting…finding the right mix of serious and the less serious. Journalism is storytelling with a purpose. That purpose is to provide people with information they need to understand the world…(making) it meaningful, relevant, and engaging. Not just providing information, but providing it in such a way that people will be inclined to watch (read).” - Bill Kovach, Tom Rosenstiel Def. Pg. 2
