We are in the business of gathering the news. We're not in the business of talking about the news.

Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.

Good News, Bad News

Written by Dean Dillon, Dale Dodson and Lee Ann Womack
I've got some good news, can't wait to tell you.
I realised I missed you, since we've been apart.
I just needed time,
To make up my mind,
But I'm in love with you with all my heart.
I've got some good news.
I got some bad news, I don't know how to break to you.
I found someone new since we been apart.
I had too much time,
An' he took you off my mind,
An' I'm in love with him with all of my heart.
I got some bad news.
Instrumental break.
An' I guess all is fair in love an' war:
Someone wins,
But someone wins more.
You never know what time will do.
All I know is I've got some good news.
I've got some bad news.

The bad news is that 50 people died in a hotel fire; the good news is that we got exclusive footage.

One reason I left local news was that I was tired of the constant musical chairs among news directors.

Celebrate The News

Hello
My luck was so bad
I thought I used up all the luck I had
Everytime I thought I'd get it on
Someone put me on
There's been a change
Beautiful and strange
My life's gone through a change
Somehow I know (somehow I know)
Bad luck's in the past
All good things here at last
So now we'll grow
There's been a change
Mmmmm
Bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
No bad luck (no more)
I got news for you
There ain't no blues

The Fox News cable channel is doing very well because there is a market for what Fox News has to offer.

News

The news silent the crow
The news begin to rain
This is the ocean and I
With the flower buds
jump the ground.

Who are there my question
And none to answer bite
And I am telling okey.
The crow no more to see
The news flute the sea.

Sweet Silence

Sometimes the best news is no news at all.
Then you wouldn't hear if there was war or if the stocks fall.
Today, nothing we hear of the television is good.
They tell bad news and say "they did what they could."
If we hear nothing, we assume everything is alright,
We could go to our beds and sleep tight.
How would you feel, if on the television on the wall,
You turned on the news and heard nothing at all.

We have defeated Saddam Hussein and Iraq. The good news is Iraq is ours, and the bad news is Iraq is ours.

Good News

(shirley eikhard)
Darkness falls and you withdraw
Your humour disappears
Its been this way for years
Its nothing new
Come around and dont look down
Youll never see the sun
Youll never see the one
Whos loving you
Youve got to hold your head up, darling
Never let them see
When youre sad, you look a lot like me
Youve got to want to win my darling
Or youre bound to lose
I wish for once that I could bring you good news, good news
Now I dont care for sad affairs,
The outcomes up to you
If tears are overdue, then let them fall...
Come around and dont look down
Youll never see the sun

Most effective tools

It is high tension drama with lots of worries
When any new channels are in air with full of stories
Makes great impact when something special in head lines it carries
It is news almost in leading papers and in all the dailies

Now the dailies are with full news of scandals, robberies and murders
Some prominence might be shown at the shooting down of intruders
The suicidal attacks and bomb blasts are prime news for circulation
Welfare and other works find hardly mention or indication

Medias has always occupied highest position and is considered as mirror
Enough care is taken to report it precisely without any error
The sanctity of news report is maintained very strictly
It is weighed deeply and thought over before reported correctly

It is one of the powerful medium for reporting news
Its impartiality and credibility is expressed with views
Normally no dirty game is played so far as the news are concerned
But of late it has involved in the race where some dignitaries are cornered

Mummy News Cries

Mummy don't leave me today.
Mummy he hurts me again and again
Mummy I'm sorry I upset you
Mummy of course I'll go again.

News in the paper of a little girls death
News in the paper of the abuse
News in the paper of a grieving mother
News in the paper of a life gone too soon.

Cries the mother who didn't heed the cry
Cries the mother who failed to hear
Cries the mother who sent her there
Cries the mother for her dead child.

News is important information that may influence your investments. Noise is talk or buzz or some headline that prevents you from seeing a story clearly. News is useful. Noise is a distraction. Calling what's noise and news after the fact is easy.
