what is news?

In 1973 blumer and katz come developed 'the uses and gratification theory'.
Arguing audiences consume media text for one or more of the four reasons:
1. Information 
2. Entertainment 
3. Socialism (replacing people with tv)
4. Surveillance

News = facts/Information 
but because the 'news' you see on tv, online and newspapers is also a product that has to sell to a target audience it can also be entertaining and this may distract from facts.
