Is The News Still News If It Has Already been Told To Us By Someone Else?

Firstly, I see news as the dissemination of new pieces of information for public use and benefit(s). News deals with information, ideas, events, occasions from all works of life as the

N stands for the Northern part of the world
E stands for the Eastern part of the world
W stands for the Western part of the world and
S stands for the Southern part of the world

Most journalists agree that defining the term 'news' is quite a difficult task. However,one major factor deeply associated with news is the issue of time. News is a time dependent phenomenon.
In addtiton to this, I also see news as a media concept that deals with details.
A news story, although concise, yet must be very detailed in order to be regarded as news.

A scanty and shallow news information (first heard from an incomposed source) is as good as a fairy tale. On the other hand, a more detailed, information loaded and juicy news message will no doubt be regarded as a news message.

So, I feel that news is still news even if it has been told to us by over two people, as long as it is more detailed, more informative, and more educative than that which we may have previously heard.
Such type of news message, due to its nature, would always be relevant in the society.

More often than not, political news about past Presidents, Prime Ministers, political happenings (e.g 911 bomb blast in America) are news messages that have their relevance and still retain a form of freshness (because of its long lasting effects) in the minds of the audience.
