Planned Additions

Hello, I plan to add the following parts to this article: history of news media the structure of the news news worthiness and news values how social media has impacted news Emmas2746 (talk) 21:16, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overview

This article, while still a stub, is presenting an uncommon term as if it were in an established and standard term. Calicocat 14:33, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC) Overall, each presented information can tie together quite well, especially when it's put into chronological order. Although, there could be more information provided about the uncommon term. BFE68 (talk) 16:22, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

History

"News trade"

Much of this article was apparently copied from News trade, which was listed on VFD. The result of the discussion was to redirect here to "News media".

I am going to overhaul this article to discuss types of news media. Maurreen 6 July 2005 13:54 (UTC)

I am a media student about to do my exams, I am currently trying to revise and needrtrt to know extensivly about the structure of the news, news worthiness,news values,hegemony within the news indusrty,along with bias and the epistemological problem being what constitues as news?.This article although is helpful it still seems very vauge on the facts and information. This is not the only article i have read ,i have tried to find out about these terms and theories on wikipedia, focusing mainly on Adorno, Horkhiemer, Habermass and Gramsci, but they all seem to either give an in depth bio on these theorists lives, rather than concepts which i can relate to the news industry or relate these terms on other theories and subjects. Even worse,some simply give a basic deffinition of the words i have searched for. I have to have in depth knowlegde on these topics and know how they relate to the mass media by Monday the 18th of June.

Are there any Academics or people out there who has a deep understanding of these concepts and could help please, i have tried so hard to make sense of these theories and really starting to panic. Wikipedia is a great source but at the moment it's all too general. I would much appriciate if anyone could help me here. Thank you x DeeDee x

Cool and warm

Television is the "cool medium" because it provides less information than newspapers, but appeals to our senses through the swift progression of images. Newspapers and radio make up the "hot medium" because they demand less attention from the senses and more from the reasoning part of the brain. [1]

Is this relevant to the current article? --Uncle Ed 16:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revising the News Media article

Hello! I am giving some suggestions that could be made to this article to improve it and possibly make it better.

I feel as if the “History” section could use more information. “History in The United States” has a lot more information than the regular “History” section and I think that is unfair. Also, adding in more information would make the section flow better and it could let the sentences flow into one another. Although, the information in this section is accurate and reliable which is helpful.

In the “Streaming Journalism” section, there is a link that does not work. The term ‘Tea accounts’ shows up in red and when I click on it, a page comes up and says that the article does not exist. Since this article does not exist, the link should be removed and a little more information and history can be added into this section instead.

In the section’s title, “Newsmagazines”, there should be a space in between News and Magazines. It can also use some more information to make the section more informative. The section below it, “Newsreels”, has a bit of history in it’s section. Therefore, “News Magazines” should have the same.

“See also” also has a link that does not work, the article does not exist. This link should be removed since it does not offer any other information or sites.

In the section, “References”...

Public Interest in News Topics Beyond Control of Mainstream Media Archived 2006-06-15 at the Wayback Machine, June 9, 2006.

This link on the article does not work. When it is clicked, a page comes up that says that it cannot be found. Any information that was derived from this source needs to be taken out and replaced by new information, with another reference.

Thank you! Meabarbedoreggina (talk) 03:28, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

New Section: Radio

Radio

News on the radio was made in 1896 and has developed ever since then to keep up with modern day technology.[1] The radio was first used by the military for contacting one another during wars. Over time, the radio became a common household item, the news and music were offered on the radio.[2] News that is seen or read in newspapers and news magazines can be heard on the radio. News that is on the radio is also on television, as they have the same channels in common.[3] News on the radio is a form of broadcasting, it can be heard by anyone who has the access to it.[4]

Peer Review

After going through your potential contribution to the Wikipedia page, you did great overall. The section that you added is relevant to the topic and is straight to the point. All the sources that you used seem to be reliable and you are not biased. I do have a few recommendations on how you can improve your paragraph. After every sentence, make sure to add a space between the reference number and the end of the sentence. I also feel like your sentences seem to be repetitive so maybe try switching up the words you use. For example, instead of saying "News that is seen or read in newspapers and news magazines can be heard on the radio. News that is on the radio is also on television, as they have the same channels in common." You can say something like; "The radio provides similar content that is provided on newspapers and television. News that is talked about in television is also on radio stations because they have some channels in common." Sofhiac12 (talk) 14:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ancient News

There seems to be far too little in the History section and nothing about widespread news reporting during the Roman era and in other ancient societies when there's evidence of prototypical news reporting existing since ancient times. Colliric (talk) 04:24, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
