News

Pile of folded newspapers

Historically, news have been circulated via newspapers, one of the oldest publishing media. With the advent of electronic and, later on, digital media, dissemination of news changed dramatically. Nowadays, news are being made available through television, the radio, the web, social media, and other sources of information. They are not academic sources as they mostly present journalistic or personal views, but not academic research. However, news items are good sources of information for current issues.
