Is gossip and news the same thing? People all around the world are believed to have gossip throughout their daily routines by simply communicating with each other. Having heard a gossip about a certain person or topic, we receive also news about something, or rather someone ignoring whether it's factual or not. News is information or an update about just anything at all, be it world news, news about relatives and their well beings, news about the latest fashion, news on the latest technology and so on. News received about other people and their social as well as private conducts could also be referred to as gossip. News and gossip are clearly linked in a way, but are they a totally different thing or could gossip and news truly be the exact same thing only referred to using two different words?.
In my opinion, gossiping is like sharing news about certain topics with other people and getting a response from that person, which in turn, that person also begins to share the news with others. Humans for one thing, cannot live without having gossip. We just can't seem to resist sharing gossips among each other because we have the need to be curious and find out things whether it is something bad or good about someone. You could even say that, most of the time when humans communicate, they are most likely to be gossiping. Socialising and the thought of just being a sociable person, whether we are conscious about it or not, takes a lot of gossiping in which news can be shared and passed on from one to another. Maybe one day, a person who is able to gossip a lot could be referred to as a very informative person and up-to-date in everything, thus, bringing them to a higher social level or higher status. It shows that we cannot live life without gossip because it's part of how we have things to talk about when we communicate. What is communication if there is no gossip to be shared? It wouldn't be as interesting as it is.
