News that people want to know but the person involved does not want peploe to know e.g man cheats on wife – super injunction

News must be current and up to date, there is no point of having news which is 2 weeks old
The dictionary definition of news is probably the most helpful.

· News must be presented as something that is not mundane; it must be an event.
· The fresh event must be reported to become news.
