What are news anyway?

News are communications about new facts emerging in the struggle for existence of the individual and society. To the news thus belong 1. the interest of the receiver, 2. the novelty, i.e. the speed of the transmission, 3. the communication by a third, i.e. the subjective influence.

NEWS

Information: That part of a message which has a value for the recipient. Information changes the economic subject's existing probability judgments with regard to data or events relevant to decision-making (e.g. exchange opportunities or technical innovations).

Presented by Nicola Etzold and Jonas Dettelmann

The "News of the Week" is an elaboration of an individual student's news from the past week, which he or she presents to the class. The presentation ends in a discussion afterwards.
