Mnemonic

ニュース nyuusu — phonetic loan of English "news." Japanese news landscape: NHK (public) + five commercial networks (Nittele, TV Asahi, TBS, TV Tokyo, Fuji). Signature programs by time slot — 19 h NHK news, 22 h Hodo Station. 速報 (sokuhou) = breaking-news ticker. The register prizes fact-and-neutrality over US-style opinion. The kanji 報道 (houdou, reporting) and the loanword nyuusu split: houdou = formal journalism, nyuusu = daily content. PATCH-4 v3 note: media vocab splits along medium / register / time-slot axes.
