News is a format for disseminating an event through journalistic means. It is the raw material of journalism, usually recognized as some socially relevant fact or event that deserves publication in a mass media outlet.

Political , social , economic , cultural , natural , and other events can become news if they affect individuals or groups that are significant to a particular media outlet.

News can be defined as a socially constructed product, as it is the result of the social positions of individuals and groups involved in journalistic production, and by the sources themselves which, according to Stuart Hall, act as primary definers of events. News is a condensation of these determinants into a socio-cultural product essential in the construction of social processes, content and relations. ^[1]

Generally, news has a negative connotation precisely because it is exceptional, abnormal, or has a great social impact, such as accidents, tragedies, wars , and coups d'état . News only has journalistic value when it has just happened, or when it has not been previously reported by any media outlet.

The “art” of journalism is to choose subjects that interest the public and present them in an attractive way. Not every journalistic text is news, but every news item is potentially the subject of journalistic investigation. ^[2]

Four main factors that influence news quality: ^[3]

1. News: the news must contain life and life must contain new information, and not repeat what is already known.
2. Proximity: the closer the location of the event is to the reader, the more interest the news generates, because it has a more direct impact on the reader's life.
3. Size: both what is very large and what is very small attracts the public's attention.
4. Relevance: News must be important, or at least significant. Banal, commonplace events are generally of no interest to the public.
