news
Information, particularly information recently discovered or ascertained. Reports of recent occurrences of varied character, covering political, social, moral, religious, and other subjects, local or foreign, intended for the information of the general reader. Apparently authentic reports of current events of interest. 39 Am J1st Newsp § 2. News is not always synonymous with facts, in the sense of verity. Much news ultimately proves fictitious, yet it is news notwithstanding. The word means no more (laying aside hoaxing and intentional falsehood) than apparently authentic reports of current events of interest. Associated Press v International News Service (CA2 NY) 245 F 244, 2 ALR 317, 318.
