which they satisfy by traveling, talking to each other and sharing.
Technological and social developments, often driven by government
communication and espionage networks, have increased the speed with which
news can spread, as well as influenced its content.
The genre of news as we know it today is closely associated with the
NEWSPAPER (China--court bulletin) and spread, with paper and printing press (to
Europe).
