News Words
News is an interesting word. I have heard people use it to describe events as diverse as the seasons. However, when it comes to describing current events, what is common to most all seems like a certain repetition of what has already been said: “it’s happened again!” Sentence by sentence, even minute by minute, news is continuously being reported and written about, sometimes with a byline, sometimes not. Examples of recent news being written or reported about an individual, place, event, or another topic.
News can make you feel like something’s just not right, and many things that happen in our lives do. It doesn’t necessarily mean that there is actual news, but it’s very possible that there isn’t any real news happening anywhere near you right now. This makes news more interesting to those who need it most, which is why stories are so important. The importance of the written word can also help us feel less alone, less like we’re losing an eye on everything and more ready to act when we need to. It’s also makes news more real to those who are affected by the events that are happening. It helps them understand how they fit into the larger story and gives them hope when things look better than expected or when significant events occur.
In fact, many people seem to lose sight of the fact that the act of reading, hearing, seeing, and reading about something changes the way we think, feel, and make decisions. Reading about the breaking news in a newspaper changes the way you think about the world around you. It makes you question your own safety and the safety of others. It might even give you a slight feeling of excitement that you hadn’t felt in a long time, knowing that you’ve helped keep someone from being harmed, helped make the local news today a little bit more interesting, and made the world a little bit safer for you and your family.
The popularity of newspapers and magazines goes beyond just the US, either. There are a lot of people who feel the same way and read the same news stories, watching the same programs, and getting the same information from the same sources. That’s a pretty big reason to get all your news from the same place, too. If you don’t have the news on your side of the Atlantic, you’ll miss out on a lot of interesting bits of the day. If you don’t have the local news on your side of the Pacific Ocean, you might miss out on some really important development in other countries.
For instance, in the United States we use “4 aug. 2021” as a notation to indicate the date of the presidential inauguration of a new president. This dates back to 17aldo against Columbus Day, although the spelling has changed over the years. The Chinese recognize this date as the beginning of the New Year, and mark it with both the Chinese New Year and the Festival of Heaven. These two celebrations often use very similar dates, so it’s pretty common for people in both cultures to use the same date.
What if you want to emphasize some sort of social or cultural event? In that case you might like to mark the event with your news of the day. If you are celebrating a national holiday, you might like to use the word “celebrating” instead of “auguring”. The problem with that is that “celebrating” might not be a real word, and sounds artificial. News words often need to have real meaning, and the earliest indication of what that meaning might be may be as much as a year or a half old. If you want to make sure that your point is clearly understood, stick to the news at face value.
