(1) To know means to be aware, to realize, to have knowledge about something that “is” or that is happening or happened. Mankind, in general, feels the need to be informed either about what is going on or about why things “are” in a certain way. In the olden days there were thinkers (philosophers, scientists etc.) who endeavored to understand both ethical and physical laws, while others practically “acted”, took action in order to achieve a material, visible result. Those who did neither, felt the desire to “know”, to be informed about what was being thought and experimented. Thus 'the news' was born, to inform people about very important, meaningful things. Nowadays we are drowning in "news" about everything, at all times, in all places, in any conceivable way. And a lot of the information we are forcefully fed is neither important, nor meaningful.
