Thank you Sasabell for an excellent question.
As you know, there are many forms of journalism and indeed media to relay news takes in different genres and which aim to be read, heard or viewed by differnt arget audiences for different reasons. To this end som passive or active appreciation and uderstanding of how such gernes manifest is vital.
If we are to to discuus the concepts of 'news' we do also need to take into account the liguisintic and geographical paradigms that such a word both obliquely and specifically efers to.
On can. I believe, easily ponificate that news stories may range from ancient cave paintings, markings on shells and animals, tea leaves, orally received memories or heritages and right through to live broadcasts on an array of modern technology inspired print and pod mediium.
In terms of modern print or broadcast breaking news items, eithical journalism does tend to suggest that a maximum of objectvity in terms of news selection and a general neglect of emotive adjecitves are employed, in order to minimise inherent bias and maximise the transition of widely acknowledged and demonstrable facts.
Many upholders of what they believe to be as responsible as possible news broadcast may employ the passive voice. eg: a bomb fell on (place) at (time) as opposed to the active voice which suggests (who) threw a bomb at (place) at (time) and why. We might note that the passive voice remains illusive about the reasons or suspected culprits to devastating news stories while the active voice tends to impugn even before all the facts come to kife.
In my mind a good news writer or broadcaster will consider schemata or previous knowledge and experience of her or his target audience, repor known facts and should she or he wish, to invite careful and ongoing debae and reflection about the key and related issues.
