At NowPublic, we have a very simple definition of news: "News is new information on current events." In our experience that's what people look for when they're looking for news - whether they're buying a paper or searching the web. Your news will likely fit into one of three kinds of story:

1. Your eyewitness account: Original, relevant information about a current event that you have actually witnessed, documented, or researched;
2. New information: bits of information you have collected, arranged, tied together and put into a context in relation to a current event;
3. Commentary: your advice or analysis directly related to a current event.
