The artefacts of news of rubbish dumps, plays, work, and "the first draft of history"

Palmer, Michael (author)

News is a contraction of two words: "new things." And news is the report of those "new things." These reports over time can themselves become artefacts. Historians, anthropologists, sociologists - along with journalists - study news. In different ways and via a range of media, dramatists, paleo-anthropologists and poets also pinpoint - sometimes en passant - the production, transmission and impact of news. Here we look at the seemingly unlikely "cross-fertilisation" of these remarks, and pick up points made by newsmen working at speed to capture "a defining moment," a story and its impact.

Abstract

Novica (news) je zveza dveh besed: "nove stvari" ("new things"). Vest je poročilo o "novih stvareh". Ta poročila lahko v času sama postanejo artefakti. Zgodovinarji, antropologi, sociologi tako kot novinarji proučujejo novice. Na različne načine in v različnih medijih tudi dramatiki, paleoantropologi in pesniki - včasih le bežno - govorijo o proizvodnji, distribuciji in vplivu novic. Članek obravnava navidez malo verjetno medsebojno oplajanje teh komentarjev in povzema poudarke novinarjev, ki delajo v naglici, da bi ujeli "odločilni trenutek", zgodbo in in njen učinek.
