What us news?
Another old saying is news is what the editor says it is. More often, it is what the publisher says it is.
Many years ago I left my news reporting job to take a position as editor of a corporate publication. More money, benefits, etc. I clearly remember my new boss saying we run a newspaper, but it's based more on the Pravda model than the NY Times. I believe that same philosophy applies here. But, with social media and other sources, the truth always comes out.
