Hence the famous dictum that "Dog Bites Man" is not news, but "Man Bites Dog" is. Relatedly, news often addresses aspects of reality which seem unusual, deviant, or out of the ordinary. To make the news, an ongoing process must have some "peg", an event in time which anchors it to the present moment. News conspicuously describes the world in the present or immediate past, even when the most important aspects of a news story have occurred long in the past-or are expected to occur in the future.
Whereas historians tend to view events as causally related manifestations of underlying processes, news stories tend to describe events in isolation, and to exclude discussion of the relationships between them. The newness of news gives it an uncertain quality which distinguishes it from the more careful investigations of history or other scholarly disciplines. Newness Īs its name implies, "news" typically connotes the presentation of new information. Jessica Garretson Finch is credited with coining the phrase "current events" while teaching at Barnard College in the 1890s.
Similar developments are found in the Slavic languages – namely the Czech and Slovak noviny (from nový, "new"), the cognate Polish nowiny, the Bulgarian novini, and Russian novosti – and in the Celtic languages: the Welsh newyddion (from newydd) and the Cornish nowodhow (from nowydh). In Middle English, the equivalent word was newes, like the French nouvelles and the German Neues.
The English word "news" developed in the 14th century as a special use of the plural form of "new". 7 Social organization of news production.5.2 Further transformation in global news flow.5.1 New World Information and Communication Order.Al Jazeera English newsroom, Doha, 2011 Journalism
