Iosif Mikhailovich, it is said that news is an indicator of a society's openness and its worldview. Today, the idea has taken hold that news means the image of some or other event. My understanding of news is fundamentally different.
News is that which directly affects the real life of the majority of people.
That means that a journalist should formulate his text in such a way so as to first tell about an event and give all the details necessary to understand it, and second, to relate the opinions of competent people regarding the situation and what they think should be done about it. In a word, journalists should offer the optimal means for surviving, overcoming, or understanding a situation. And for that it is necessary to have at least a minimal amount of commentary. But we are by no means an audience or a public contemplating something. We are living, thinking and acting beings that make decisions in our lives.
