About Legal
Legal is an adjective that refers to laws, or what is permissible by law. Laws serve as a social mediator of relations between people. Aristotle stated, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual."
About News
News is new information, usually disseminated by media sources. In ancient times, news was shared via oral delivery. Some of the most ancient poems and songs were actually a form of news. Later came the 'town crier,' who traveled from town to town and yelled out the news in the town square. With the advent of the printing press, news was delivered via broadsheets, handbills, pamphlets, and newspapers. Radio and TV came next, and today, in the internet age, the 'news cycle' has been reduced from 24 hours to a few minutes. Politicians and governments are still figuring out how to deal with the rapidity with which they must react to the changing news environment.
