Concept
If a news item is defined, among other concepts, by its belonging to the immediate present, what can be considered news within the era of post-information on the Internet? What happens when a news item is no longer “news”? Does it automatically pass into the sphere of information and, therefore, acquire a status of durability, which would otherwise be denied?
If in the Internet time and space are “liquid”, that is, perpetually non-permanent, what happens then with the validity of that which is “right now” a piece of news, but not any more after just one second? What happens with national disasters, with social convulsions, with local and tribal wars, with ecological tragedies… all of which, at a given moment, completely hold public attention and help collect thousands of dollars out of our solidarity which will then be used for “good causes”, but all of which are also immediately buried by fresh information? Is it not true that a piece of news should be something more than a mere item for immediate consumption, that it should set off deeper thoughts which might help find solutions for economical, social, ecological problems in the long run?
