Who told me the history of the news The historical sources of the news

...That's a big question, isn't it?

I studied journalism and communication.

We have a dedicated course on the history of journalism.

Hello, news ** refers to the ** of a press release. It also refers to the facts on which the news is based** and the news****. There are two types: direct and indirect, the former is obtained from direct interviews by reporters; The latter, such as the news agency or ** of the telegram; Manuscripts posted by the public, correspondents, and readers; Manuscripts provided by political parties, social organizations, enterprises and institutions.

Ask a question, thank you, teacher [smile] [smile].

From primitive to modern people, after millions of years, the means of human beings to disseminate news (news carriers) have become more and more abundant and complex, but the authenticity and rapidity of news have not changed, and what has changed is only the difference in the degree of people's requirements for news truth and speed. 1 The term "news" was born in the Tang Dynasty. The newspaper at that time was called Di Bao.

2 Why did the Tang Dynasty become the birth of journalism? (What are the reasons for the development of Tang Dynasty news?) ）：

The Tang Dynasty was politically clear, economically prosperous, socially stable, and had international exchanges. In order to understand the government and politics, the officials also need to make propaganda introductions to the outside world, and this situation will inevitably promote the public dissemination of political and economic information. Communication tools such as:

Pen, ink, silk, paper, etc. are all available. As a result, a new communication medium, the earliest handwritten news, the feudal official newspaper, came into being. Definition of news:

Reports of a portion of the facts that have recently occurred or are happening. One word that can sum up the characteristics of news, and that word is news. Why is news called news?

There are two explanations: one is that it is spelled by the first letters of the words north, east, west, and south; One is derived from the meaning of the word new. Combining these two statements, news is what is new, what is happening in the north, south, south, and north, and that's news.

The concept of journalism is broad and narrow. News in a broad sense is a general term for news, communications, features, sketches, reportage, interview notes, letters from the masses and other news genres. News in the narrow sense refers specifically to news. The word "news", which first appeared in the Tang Dynasty in China, refers to newly heard national events; Later, the "news" that appeared in "Dream of Red Mansions" was the first social news, referring to interesting new things that were seen.

Sina Finance reported that social networking giant Facebook (on Wednesday (February 19) announced that the company will acquire mobile communication service WhatsApp for $16 billion, and the payment method is cash plus**.

Facebook said it would pay $4 billion in cash for the acquisition, plus $12 billion worth of **, and agreed to provide WhatsApp founders and employees with an additional $3 billion in restrictions**, which will be granted over the next four years, bringing the total acquisition to $19 billion if that is added. In November last year, WhatsApp had only 50 employees.

The agreement also stipulates that if the deal does not go through, Facebook will pay WhatsApp a "break-up fee" of $1 billion in cash and $1 billion worth of **.

It is said that WhatsApp now has 100 million monthly active users, 70% of which log in every day, and now there are 1 million new users every day, and the number of messages sent on WhatsApp every day reaches the number of SMS messages in global telecommunications, and there are 1 billion **, 200 million audio messages, and 100 million ** messages transmitted through the software every day. This is a big threat to Facebook, which is committed to connecting people and information on the Internet.

WhatsApp, a cross-platform messaging app, was founded in 2009. The WhatsApp app is very simple. The simple and concise interface, without any fancy functions, the core function is to help users send and receive messages.

WhatsApp refuses to use ads, and its revenue is mainly based on charging users, i.e., users need to pay dollars per year for WhatsApp. In July of last year, WhatsApp went from a one-time dollar fee to an annual dollar product, and it was free to use for one year after the first time.
