What is Pop Culture? Is it News?

In recent years, our news sources are increasingly bringing us information that was never published before. Now, it is common to read articles that used to be the stuff of magazines and gossip columns.

In the past twenty years popular culture crept into news media and is now considered a part of daily 'News.'
First, let's define pop culture. Pop culture is the entire spectrum of popular ideas, opinions, and attitudes on any given topic. The popular culture assumes that a group of informal and unofficial people have a common opinion. In the 21st Century we can influence this consensus with just one tweet, since everyone uses the internet every day.

Media and the public can both have a profound influence on Popular Culture.

Celebrity gossip, entertainment stories, even strange news are commonplace today. This news is created by the public and spread by them, before being picked up by media providers. What is news?

Yes! News is anything that shares important information, shows the humanity of today and gives an opinion on current events. The popular culture is often viewed as unimportant, trivial and newsless. The world's top news sources are balancing traditional news with popular culture.

The leading news sites will publish a variety of news including current affairs, sports, business, and politics alongside gossip, entertainment and strange news. The variety of news attracts a wider audience and opens up our reading choices.

It is great to see articles that are unusual, funny, or inspirational sharing space on the page and attracting readers' attention.

We all access news on the internet every day. As a result we are able to choose from a wide range of newswire services that provide us with daily updates in a variety of topics. Now we have the option to choose what news we want to read and receive breaking news straight on our phones within seconds after it is posted online.

The popular culture is a simple reflection of the society's views, tastes, and likes. The world and people can be seen from a different perspective. The internet and social media have a major influence on how popular culture is reported. This trend will not end.

Next time you visit your favorite news website to get the latest news, think about which articles you read. Do you read only the mainstream news or do you also enjoy the more popular news? Most people will read a combination of the two, but they'll enjoy the interesting and humorous articles more than depressing ones.
