Do you watch news programmes why?
Since the birth of the soothsayer in early Rome "news" and other events were communicated to the populous. People are interested in what happens around them and the impact that these events potentially have on their live. With newspapers being once of the greatest communication systems radio saw the first newscasts on March 8, 1916 in the USA. These were University Based with music and lectures going over the newly named BROADCAST. These radio events brought locally know news to a wider audience and sparked greater interest for the listener who now became more aware of what was happening further away - The second world war saw the greatest impact of "news" when events in Europe were continually being broadcast across the UK and were used by the resistance to receive coded messages. This opened up a greater interest for everyone. It was to be the turning point in news communication as newspapers would be 3 sometimes 4 days after the event - radio brought events to the people withing hours. Insular knowledge was gone - people were now expecting "information" on what was happening around them in a wider sphere. This has since of course expended to satellite transmission of live events - with TV now able to broadcast live - as it happens events people felt more inclined to be involved in the dramas as they unfolded. Again information serving the appetite of the human race who naturally are inquisitive about they surroundings. This is why news programmes are so popular - its real, its happened, it becomes history and people can now be apart of it as it happens.
