News is something that interest the audience that reads it. It should be revleavent and give enough information in order to give that audience something they did not know before. It should also be up to date. News can be irrelvant if it is not time specific. Most importantly, it has to first spark interest in the reader. The story or information will not even be read if the audience does not relate or is not interested in the news. News can be anything from world events to celebrities as long as the audience is interested. The reading states that the gatekeeper decides what is news. however I am sure that whoever that is knows what the audience deems as news. Train wrecks bloody stories and famous people interest a lot of people. their are a lot of stories in the media about these topics. However I consisder what went on during a town meeting as news even if the story would not spark the interest of many readers.
