Long Island Arts and Humanities
|
The arts is a broad subdivision of culture, composed of many expressive disciplines. In modern usage, it is a term broader than “art”, which usually means the visual arts (comprising both fine art, decorative art, and crafts). The arts encompasses visual arts, performing arts, language arts, and culinary arts. Many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the various arts, so the definitions of these terms overlap to some degree. A precise definition of the arts can be contentious, but the following areas of activity usually are included:

News and media refers to the sections of mass media which focus on presenting current news to the public. These include print media (newspapers, magazines); broadcast media (radio stations, television stations, television networks), and increasingly Internet-based media (World Wide Web pages, weblogs). Usually the term includes all working journalists and is often used by those who would make generalizations about the product of “most” journalists, for example that journalists who work for large media corporations, or who are based in New York City or Washington, D.C, harbor a liberal or conservative bias. The term news trade refers to the concept of the news media as a business separate from, but integrally connected to, the profession of journalism. A newspaper is a publication containing news and information and advertising. It may be general or special interest, most often published daily or weekly. The first printed newspaper was published in 1605. The newspaper industry survived competition from 20th-century technologies, especially radio and television, but 21st-century developments on the Internet are posing major threats. The owner of the newspaper, or person in charge, is the publisher. The person responsible for content is the editor, editor in chief, or executive editor. Long Island has all forms of media. Located to the right are some local media outlets to visit online, tune-in to, or pick-up Long Island News, information on local events, and press related happenings throughout Long Island New York. |
