“The original sense of news was ‘new things’; this is long obsolete. Since the 15th century it has been used to mean ‘tidings, the report of recent events, new occurrences as a subject or report or talk.’
The adjective new goes back to Old English.”

” A Definition of News- News, then, is anything that happens in which people are interested.  The best news is that which carries the most interest, significance, and importance for the greatest number.”

-Writing for Print by H.F. Harrington

Newsprint writing is changing at a very fast pace, and personally this has caused me to change what I had thought would be a great career. For a very long time I have always wanted to be a print writer, and when I chose this I took the appropriate steps to become successful at it. This included going out for a high school newspaper, and eventually becoming editor in chief, and reformatting the way that the paper was run. However as I began college I realized that this medium that I had devoted so much time to was becoming more obsolete. Newspapers are having to shift from traditional methods of news writing to more modern methods such as online publication, which requires a varied style of writing. This style is something that all writers have to learn and perfect in order to present news in todays society.

However quickly this change is going, I still feel that print has a place. I would rather pick up a newspaper , then go online to cnn.com or googlenews and read.
