Information is that which informs.

In other words, it is the answer to a question of some kind.

It is thus related to data and knowledge, as data represents values attributed to parameters, and knowledge signifies understanding of real things or abstract concepts.

As it regards data, the information's existence is not necessarily coupled to an observer (it exists beyond an event horizon, for example), while in the case of knowledge, the information requires a cognitive observer.

Critical theory stresses the reflective assessments and critique of society and culture by applying knowledge from the social sciences and the humanities.

An article is a written work published in a print or electronic medium.

It may be for the purpose of propagating news, research results, academic analysis or debate.

News is information about current events.

Journalists provide news through many different media, based on word of mouth, printing, postal systems, broadcasting, electronic communication, and also on their own testimony, as witnesses of relevant events.

Periodical literature (also called a periodical publication or simply a periodical) is a published work that appears in a new edition on a regular schedule.

The most familiar example is the magazine, typically published weekly, monthly, or as a quarterly.

Newspapers, often published daily or weekly, are, strictly speaking, serials, not periodicals.

Other examples of periodicals are newsletters, literary magazines (literary journals), academic journals (including scientific journals), science magazines, and yearbooks.
