今 (now) 始 (start) 初 (first) 聞 (hear)News is losing its novelty.
Do you still exclaim, "Wow, that's news to me"? "News" seems almost too readily available these days. We are subject to important "news" several times a day. Even when the information is actually fresh, you wonder if it has already been regurgitated through various channels of media.
I am more likely to say "Wow, that's news to me" when I hear about gossip involving someone I know.
Personal news. Perhaps that's the appeal of Myspace, Facebook and Twitter.
It's become easy for anyone to break any kind of news. It's still uncommon to see a well-written, in-depth analysis of news, stuff that matters.
That would be news to me.
