Introduction Assignment

A. From my research on various online forums such as wikianswers and ask.com, I have come to the conclusion that many of the answers presented, which is that news is/are information, pictures, statements, and circumstances of recent or ongoing events, often shared through the media such as the newspaper, t.v., the internet, and the radio. News is often based on recent releases of information, instead of restating facts and giving a larger view of the situation. News moves with the story and the people involved, and is constantly evolving. Information is simply facts and data that reflect or explain concepts, events, ideas, or essentially any subject. Information stays the same no matter what other facts develop or are discovered. Internet sources: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_difference_between_news_and_information http://www.differencebetween.com/difference-between-news-and-vs-information/ I agree with Aristotle's quote in that I think it is valuable to look and different issues or presentations of information from various perspectives, despite your personal opinion on the matter. While every individual has biases that make it impossible to achieve the exact viewpoint as another person, being open to ideas which may oppose what you have already researched or assumed is important to gaining a greater perspective on whatever issue is at hand, and also for further backing up one's opinion and research with important opposing viewpoints.
