News is the reporting of current events by mass media in the form of newspapers, television and radio programs, sites on the World Wide Web, and other forms. Most news is researched and presented by professional reporters and often distributed via news agencies. If the content of news is significant enough, it eventually becomes history.

This article is about the practice of reporting news. If you want actual news, see current events.

This is just a stub and should have much more:

  • History of news
  • Propaganda and censorship
  • Freedom of the press and importance thereof to political movements
  • How news is disseminated
