The World's Most Interesting News | Fastnews90
Some of the first news circulations occurred in Renaissance Europe. These handwritten newsletters contained news about wars, economic conditions, and social customs and were circulated among merchants. The first printed Fast news appeared by the late 1400s in German pamphlets that contained content that was often highly sensationalized. The first newspaper written in English was The Weekly Newes, published in London in 1621. Several papers followed in the 1640s and 1650s. In 1690, the first American newspaper was published by Richard Pierce and Benjamin Harris in Boston.

Disadvantages of TV News

  • It CAN BE limited by time
  • It may rely too heavily on personalities, emotions, opinions…not facts
  • It can shortchange complex stories or avoid them altogether.
  • What conclusions can you draw from this story?  
  • What else would you need to make a decision, take action or make a judgment?  
  • Are there any dubious production techniques worth noting?
  • How can TV reporting be so sloppy? What about source analysis and evidence?
Here's an example:
 
In two separate attacks in 2007, approximately two hours apart, Seung-Hui Cho, an imbalanced student, killed 32 people and wounded 25 others before committing suicide.  According to Fastnews90 The deadliest peacetime shooting incident by a single gunman in US history, on or off a school campus.

Fast news or fake news?

Speed versus quality

A conspicuous objective has been bioRxiv, an open access vault set up in 2013 and facilitated by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, USA, alongside its more youthful sister site medRxiv. The mind-boggling inspiration for setting up the store was to speed up the spread of exploration, as per co‐founder Richard Sever and editorial manager of CSH Perspectives. "The quicker you can get it out the quicker individuals can begin expanding on it and the quicker science moves", he clarified. Pre‐print papers gave initial bits of knowledge into the spread of the infection in China [1], about its steadiness on different surfaces 2 and cautioned about the significance of asymptomatic people and the high popular burdens they can hold
 

Questionable studies

Journals have indeed moved up a gear in publishing important papers, trying to keep pace with the demand for new information on COVID‐19. That demand is met by dipping into the deluge of pre‐print publications, many of which are on medRxiv. A paper loaded onto medRxiv on 8 March reporting that those with mild symptoms of COVID‐19 shed high levels of virus was promptly reported over the next week, often on medical Get news sites that did not note the preliminary nature of the findings. It was eventually published in Nature on 1 April, and largely justified the prior attention it received from the media
