Network news is a wealth of information broken down into subject categories called newsgroups. The
information, or "articles", that make up the "news" are written by people
interested in the topic. Articles are
posted to the newsgroup so that others can read, reply and comment on them.
Some newsgroups are devoted to current events and headlines. However, network news usually describes
topical discussion groups, not "the news" in the traditional sense.
