Journalism is the practice of writing about current events. Those who practice journalism are known as journalists. Journalism is often referred to as the "first draft of history."
The main activity of journalism is the reporting of events by stating the journalistic parameters of who, what, when, where, and how and commenting on the significance of the event. Journalism exists in a number of media: newspapers, television, radio and magazines, with Internet journalism being a newcomer.
Generally, a distinction is drawn between straight reporting (just the facts), op-ed columns (opinion and editorial comment from one author), and editorials, the official opinions of the paper.

News is the reporting of current events usually by local, regional or mass media in the form of newspapers, television and radio programs, or sites on the World Wide Web. News reporting is a type of journalism, typically written or broadcast in news style. Most news is investigated and presented by journalists (or reporters) and often distributed via news agencies. If the content of news is significant enough, it eventually becomes history.To be considered news, an event usually must have broad interest due to one or more news values:
News coverage often includes the "five W's and the H" -- who, what, where, when, why, and how.
- Impact (how many people were, are or will be affected?)
- Timeliness (did the event occur very recently?)
- Revelation (is there significant new information, previously unknown?)
- Proximity (was the event nearby geographically?)
- Entertainment (does it make for a fun story?)
- Oddity (was the highly unusual?)
- Celebrity (was anyone famous involved?)
News organizations usually try to report the news objectively (neutrally); reporters cover both sides in a controversy and try to eliminate personal bias. Other journalists, such as columnists, commentators, editorial writers and editorial cartoonists, may comment on the news.

NeWS, for Network extensible Window System, was a window system developed by Sun Microsystems in the late 1980s. Its primary architect was James Gosling, who subsequently designed Java.Based on PostScript (PS), NeWS started by modifing the PostScript interpreter to run in a cooperative multitasking fashion. Unlike PostScript in a printer, NeWS would be displaying a number of PS programs at the same time on one screen, so some form of multitasking was required.
In addition, NeWS added a complete view hierarchy system, based on viewports known as canvases. Like the view system in most GUIs, it included the concept of a tree of embedded views along which events were passed. It also included a complete model for events (including timers and other "automatic" events), input queues for devices, and other functionality required for full interaction. But by far the most interesting addition was a complete object oriented (OO) programming style with inheritance. This eliminated the need for an external OO language to build a complete application.
Since all of these additions were added as additional PostScript keywords, it was possible to write simple PostScript code that would result in a running, onscreen, interactive program. For instance one of the common examples was an onscreen clock, which required about two pages of PS code.
NeWS also included a library (several actually) of user interface elements (widgets), written in NeWS. These widgets ran all of their behaviour in the NeWS interpreter, and only required communications to an outside program (or more NeWS code) when the widget demanded it.
For example, a toggle button's display routine can query the button's state (pressed or not) and change its display accordingly. The button can also react to mouse clicks by changing its state from pressed to not pressed and vice versa. All this can happen in the windowing server without interaction with the client program, and only when the mouse is released on the button will an event be sent off for handling.
This was more sophisticated than a "dumb" X Window System server, which can only report "mouse clicked on button" events to a client, which then has to switch the state, and finally instruct the server to display the new state. If client and server are not on the same machine, these interactions must travel over the network, slowing the feedback loop down unnecessarily.
Several companies licensed NeWS and adapted it for various uses. NeWS was later incorporated into Sun's OpenLook system, where it was known as TNT (The NeWS Toolkit). There were only a few companies committed to this unproven technology. The OpenLook version of FrameMaker by Frame Technology Inc at the time was one of the few products successfully run on NeWS. For a few years, Sun shipped a hybrid X Windows and NeWS server, called Xnews, but the popularity of X Windows was to prove too great. After it was clear that OpenLook had lost out to Motif in popularity, and after Adobe acquired FrameMaker, products on NeWS simply vanished. Most UNIX workstations (including Sun's) now run X Windows.
The case can be made that a graphics engine where the code can be placed in either the screen engine or the application code needs to be considered as well, from any practical standpoint, Display PostScript offered the same power and flexibility for almost none of the complexity.
Why did NeWS fail?
There is no doubt that in many ways NeWS had a superior design for thin-networked clients, by moving much of the processing to the display, and separating graphical user interface semantics from client program semantics.
Possible reasons for its failure in the market include:
- PostScript is not a good programming language for humans
- Writing NeWS apps required coding both client-side code and server-side code in two different programming languages
- NeWS may have been ahead of its time and user requirements in the sophistication level of its graphical and user-interface capabilities
- NeWS had much less of an advantage when the client and server ran on the same machine, and the network computing model never took off sufficiently to justify the extra complexity
- NeWS needed to be licenced from Sun, while the source code for the X Window System was freely distributed.

A newsgroup is a repository within the Usenet system for messages posted from many users at different locations. The term is somewhat confusing, because it is usually a discussion group. Newsgroups are technically distinct, but functionally similar to discussion forums on the World Wide Web.Newsgroups are arranged into usenet hierarchies, theoretically making it simpler to find related groups. The term Top-level usenet hierarchy refers to a usenet hierarchy defined by the prefix prior to the first dot. So for instance newsgroup rec.arts.sf.starwars.games would be in the rec.* usenet hierarchy. There are eight major hierarchies of newsgroups, known as the "Big 8":
These were all created in the Great Renaming of 1986-1987 prior to which all of these newsgroups were in the net.* hierarchy. At that time there was a great controversy over what newsgroups should be allowed, and among those the usenet cabal (who effectively ran the Big-8 at the time) did not allow, included those on recipes, drugs, and sex. This resulted in the creation of an alt.* (short for "alternative") usenet hierarchy where these groups would be allowed. Over time the laxness of rules on newsgroup creation in alt.* compared to Big-8 meant that many new topics that could, given time, gain enough popularity to get a Big-8 newsgroup had newsgroups instead created in alt.*. This resulted in a rapid growth of alt.* which continues to this day.
- comp.* - Discussion of computer-related topics
- news.* - Discussion of Usenet itself
- sci.* - Discussion of scientific subjects
- humanities.* - Discussion of the humanities (e.g. literature, philosophy)
- rec.* - Discussion of recreational activities (e.g. games and hobbies)
- soc.* - Socialising and discussion of social issues.
- talk.* - Discussion of contentious issues such as religion and politics.
- misc.* - Miscellaneous discussion - anything which doesn't fit in the other hierarchies.
The alt.* hierarchy has discussion of all kinds of topics, and many hierarchies for discussion specific to a particular geographical area or in a language other than English.
Before a new Big 8 newsgroup can be created, it must be discussed in the newsgroup news.groups, and it must be voted on - anyone is allowed to vote. The vote will only pass if at least two-thirds of all votes cast are in favour and there are 100 more votes in favour than against. Creating a new group in the alt.* hierarchy is not subject to such strict rules, but it should be discussed in alt.config first.
Typically, a newsgroup is focused on a particular topic such as 'shellfish'. Some newsgroups allow the posting of messages on a wide variety of themes, regarding anything a member chooses to discuss as on-topic, while others keep more strictly to their particular subject, frowning on off-topic postings. The news admin (the administrator of a news server) decides how long articles are kept before being expired (deleted from the server). Usually they will be kept for one or two weeks, but some admins keep articles in local or technical newsgroups around longer than articles in other newsgroups.
Newsgroups tend to come in two types, binary and text, there is no technical difference between the two, but the differentiation means that users and server who only have limited facilities can avoid downloading large binaries.
Newsgroups are much like the public message boards on old bulletin board systems. For those readers not familiar with this concept, envision an electronic version of the corkboard in the entrance of your local grocery store.
Newsgroups frequently become cliquish and are subject to sporadic flame wars and trolling, but they can also be a valuable source of information, support and friendship, bringing people who are interested in specific subjects together from around the world.
There are currently well over 100,000 newsgroups, but only 20,000 or so of those are active. Newsgroups vary in popularity with some newsgroups only getting a few posts a month, while others get several hundred (and in a few cases several thousand) messages a day.

Usenet, or Unix User Network is a communications medium in which users read and post textual messages (called "articles") to a number of distributed bulletin boards (called "newsgroups"). The medium is sustained among a large number of servers, which store and forward messages with one another. Usenet is of significant cultural importance in the networked world, having given rise to, or popularized, many widely recognized concepts and terms such as "FAQ" and "spam".
Introduction
Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use; it existed before the popularization of the Internet and well before the World Wide Web. Today, almost all Usenet traffic is carried over the Internet. The format and transmission of Usenet articles is very similar to that of Internet email messages. However, whereas email is usually used for one-to-one communication, Usenet is a many-to-many medium.The articles that users post to Usenet are organized into topical categories called newsgroups, which are themselves organized into hierarchies of subjects. For instance, sci.math and sci.physics are within the sci hierarchy, for science. When a user subscribes to a newsgroup, his news client software keeps track of which articles he has read.
When a user posts an article, initially it is only available on that user's news server. Each news server, however, talks to one or more other servers (its "newsfeeds") and exchanges articles with them. In this fashion, the article is copied from server to server and (if all goes well) eventually reaches every server in the network. Some have noted that this seems a monstrously inefficient protocol in the era of abundant high-speed network access; it was designed for a time when networks were much slower, and not always available.
ISPs, News Servers, and Newsfeeds
Most Internet service providers, and many other Internet sites, operate news servers for their users to access. To read news, one must use newsreader software -- a program which resembles an email client (and is often integrated with one) but accesses Usenet instead.Not all Internet sites run news servers. A news server is one of the most difficult Internet services to administer well, because of the complexity and data throughput involved. Some ISPs outsource news operation to specialist sites, which will usually look just the same to a user as if the ISP ran the server itself. Many sites carry only a restricted newsfeed, with only a limited number of newsgroups. Commonly omitted from such a newsfeed are foreign-language newsgroups and the alt.binaries hierarchy which largely carries software and erotica.
For those who have access to the Internet, but do not have access to a news server, Google Groups ([1]) allows reading and posting of text news groups via the World Wide Web. Though this or other "news-to-Web gateways" are not always as easy to use as specialized newsreader software -- especially when threads get long -- they are often much easier to search.
There are also Usenet providers which specialize in offering service to users whose ISPs do not carry news, or which carry a restricted feed. One list of such providers is available at [1]. There is even a newsgroup for the discussion of news providers specialized in the binary newsgroups -- alt.binaries.news-server-comparison.
Technical details
Usenet is a set of protocols for generating, storing and retrieving news "articles" (which resemble Internet mail messages) and for exchanging them among a readership which is potentially widely distributed. These protocols most commonly use a flooding algorithm which propagates copies throughout a network of participating servers. Whenever a message reaches a server, that server forwards the message to all its network neighbors that haven't yet seen the article. Only one copy of a message is stored per server, and each server makes it available on demand to the (typically local) readers able to access that server. Usenet was thus one of the first peer-to-peer applications.
Internet Jargon and History
Many terms now in common use on the Internet -- so-called "jargon" -- originated or were popularized on Usenet. Likewise, many conflicts which later spread to the rest of the Internet, such as the ongoing difficulties over spamming, began on Usenet.
History
Usenet was invented in 1979 as one application of the UUCP protocol which allowed Unix machines to exchange data over telephone lines.The first nodes connected were University of North Carolina and Duke University.
Nowadays, most Usenet articles are distributed using the NNTP protocol which works on top of the Internet's TCP/IP protocol.
The Great Renaming
In 1987, a drastic restructuring of Usenet known as the Great Renaming took place. Previous to this event, newsgroups were divided into three categories: "fa." for groups for ARPANET, "mod." for moderated discussions, and "net." for unmoderated groups. Groups in these hierarchies were not subject to naming conventions, and group names were rather haphazard.
The Great Renaming, led by the administrators known as the backbone cabal, re-organized newsgroups into seven hierarchies, known as the "Big Seven":
These hierarchies had rules that governed their administration and naming. Shortly after the Renaming, another hierarchy -- the alt hierarchy -- appeared. This hierarchy was not subject to the rules controlling groups in the Big Seven, and was as a result less organized. However, groups in the alt hierarchy tend to be more specialized or specific -- for example, there might be a newsgroup under the Big Seven that contains discussions about children's books, but a group in the alt hierarchy may be dedicated to one specific author of children's books.
- comp.* -- Computer related discussions (comp.software, comp.sys.amiga)
- misc.* -- Miscellaneous topics (misc.education, misc.forsale, misc.kids)
- news.* -- Newsgroup-related matters. This hierarchy was not originally intended for reporting news events; it was meant to deal with matters of Usenet in particlar. (news.groups, news.admin)
- rec.* -- Recreation and entertainment (rec.music, rec.arts.movies)
- sci.* -- Science related discussions (sci.psychology, sci.research)
- soc.* -- Social discussions (soc.college.org, soc.culture.african)
- talk.* -- Talk about various controversial topics (talk.religion, talk.politics)
In the mid 1990s, another hierarchy joined the Big Seven -- humanities.*, which dealt with fine arts, literature, and philosophy.
Later history
Early versions of Usenet used the B-News server software, and then later C-News. In the mid-1990s, INN was developed to take advantage of the way the Internet worked versus the store-and-forward design of UUCP. Since that time INN development has continued, and other news server software has also been developed.
Internet archiving of Usenet posts began at DejaNews with a very large, searchable database. In 2001, this database was acquired by the Google search engine.

Sociological implications
The architecture of Usenet is sometimes characterized as anarchic or as civic/democratic. Some see it as a global community or collection of online communities. While the views vary, one shared perspective among the users is of Usenet as an alternative medium to institutionalized mass communication, more open to participation from a wider variety of the general public.
Usenet can be a tool boosting an individual's ability to communicate, free from governmental and other organizational restrains. Seven major features that stand out are:
To some, these features are indications of what our society could become, or would likely become, when interactive information networks such as Usenet and the Internet become the dominant means of communication.
- In its origin, Usenet was the alternative to ARPANET (the precursor of today's Internet), created by those who could not join ARPANET. (It is not true today.)
- Usenet is open to a variety of users. It does not require user registration, institutional affiliation, or a specific fee like other communication systems. Users, with proper knowledge, can post their own messages as well. The system does not require any identification and accepts pseudonyms.
- The content is not censored very much. Much of the process of receiving, posting, and circulating messages is automated, and the sheer number of messages makes censorship very difficult, except for categorical banning of potentially problematic newsgroups or the entire Usenet.
- Creation of new newsgroups is possible for anybody with proper knowledge in certain parts of Usenet, namely within the alt hierarchy.
- Some point out that some newsgroups are helpful in their own way because of the resources of a variety of participants. For reasons which some may not be able to understand, many participants are willing to answer questions on subjects ranging from software troubleshooting, and other technical issues, to such topics as pros and cons of different medical treatments for a rare disease.
- Virtually all messages posted to the Usenet system are archived and made available in publicly-searchable databases on the World Wide Web. This allows for a great depth of historical records of news, information, and of the behaviour of individuals who choose to attach their real name to messages.
- The structure of the network is somewhat anti-hierarchical, one might argue. There is no center through which all articles go. Various news servers are connected with each other and the circulation of the articles is done in a way close to a bucket-relay. There is no essential set of newsgroups that a news server must carry. Some newsgroups are locally maintained. Consequently, it is very hard, if not utterly impossible, to construct a complete list of newsgroups for a given moment, let alone postings from a given week.
It is perhaps helpful to point out that these analogies of the social aspect of Usenet are not necessarily compatible with each other. While anarchism tends to emphasize individual freedom and the 'anything goes' principle, community values mutual ties and corporation. Democracy usually requires a binding collective decision, running counter to anarchic principle. A correct interpretation is not clear even among those who study it.
There exist various indications that those analogies are either one-sided or wrong. The reality of how Usenet is used might be not as simple as some might imagine from the above descriptions.
Communication on Usenet may be perceived by some (critics or users) as not very constructive, or worse yet, undesirable. It is frequently excessively aggressive, as some people engage in flame wars. The discussion might seem unproductive, with endless disputes. It may contain offensive languages and very objectionable opinions on sensitive issues related to racism, gender roles, etc. The non-offensive messages might be or "spams," or unsolicited off-topic postings such as advertisements for pornography sites. A group may be flooded with messages by a very limited number of participants, being not very open and friendly to newcomers. In addition, the most active parts of the Usenet include exchange of pornographic files (especially pictures) and music files (especially in MP3 format).
In addition, the said freedom in the alt hierarchy is limited in that unless a newly created newsgroup meets certain conditions and goes through certain procedures, it will not be carried by many news servers, potentially resulting in a wasted effort. In general, the seemingly anarchic system is indeed not without some administrative-level controls. The bucket-relay like structure of the network is even more limited because of the existence of the so-called Big Seven, the major carriers of newsgroups, to which many smaller-scale news servers connect. These carriers exert influence on newsgroups' birth and survival as well.
It is also noticeable that there is an obvious hierarchy in the way newsgroups are organized. While some of the other interfaces for online communication support much less hierarchical organization of information, such as the World Wide Web, Usenet is not one of them.
The more general criticisms that apply to Usenet and many other kinds of online communication include the statement that Usenet is mostly a text-based medium, empowering the literate and articulate, while being less accessible to others. The issue of the digital divide,namely that some people simply do not have access to the Internet, is another reason one might point out that Usenet is not entirely democratic or open.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | MACROBIAN, n. One forgotten of the gods and living to a great age. History is abundantly supplied with examples, from Methuselah to Old Parr, but some notable instances of longevity are less well known. A Calabrian peasant named Coloni, born in 1753, lived so long that he had what he considered a glimpse of the dawn of universal peace. Scanavius relates that he knew an archbishop who was so old that he could remember a time when he did not deserve hanging. In 1566 a linen draper of Bristol, England, declared that he had lived five hundred years, and that in all that time he had never told a lie. There are instances of longevity (macrobiosis) in our own country. Senator Chauncey Depew is old enough to know better. The editor of The American, a newspaper in New York City, has a memory that goes back to the time when he was a rascal, but not to the fact. The President of the United States was born so long ago that many of the friends of his youth have risen to high political and military preferment without the assistance of personal merit. The verses following were written by a macrobian: When I was young the world was fair And amiable and sunny. A brightness was in all the air, In all the waters, honey. The jokes were fine and funny, The statesmen honest in their views, And in their lives, as well, And when you heard a bit of news 'Twas true enough to tell. Men were not ranting, shouting, reeking, Nor women "generally speaking." The Summer then was long indeed: It lasted one whole season! The sparkling Winter gave no heed When ordered by Unreason To bring the early peas on. Now, where the dickens is the sense In calling that a year Which does no more than just commence Before the end is near? When I was young the year extended From month to month until it ended. I know not why the world has changed To something dark and dreary, And everything is now arranged To make a fellow weary. The Weather Man -- I fear he Has much to do with it, for, sure, The air is not the same: It chokes you when it is impure, When pure it makes you lame. With windows closed you are asthmatic; Open, neuralgic or sciatic. Well, I suppose this new regime Of dun degeneration Seems eviler than it would seem To a better observation, And has for compensation Some blessings in a deep disguise Which mortal sight has failed To pierce, although to angels' eyes They're visible unveiled. If Age is such a boon, good land! He's costumed by a master hand! Venable Strigg |
