News

Commonly, news content should contain the "Five Ws" (who, what, when, where, why, and
also how) of an event. There should be no questions remaining.

Bad News

In ancient times, messages were delivered in person by a human envoy. Sometimes, as in
war, for example, the messenger was sent from the enemy camp. An easily-provoked
combatant receiving such an overture could more easily vent anger (or otherwise retaliate)
on the deliverer of the unpopular message than on its author, thus literally killing the messenger.

In modern usage, the expression still refers to any kind of punishment meted out to the person
bringing bad news, but has taken on an ironic dimension as well.
