News
News is essentially new information or current events. This article discusses news in the context of journalism.
Etymology
The word "news" comes from a special use of the plural of the word "new", and not as the common backronym claims, from the four cardinal directions (North, East, West, and South). Old spellings of the word varied widely—newesse, newis, nevis, neus, newys, niewes, newis, nues, etc.—which casts doubt on this popular etymological theory.
