What is the difference between news and current affairs?

The difference between News and Current affairs may be a little tricky. If care is not taken, one might think that they both mean the same thing.

Really News can be described as "Information about recent and important events", It could be an "Information reported in a newspaper or news magazine", or "A program devoted to current events, often using interviews and commentary". It could also be an "Informal information of any kind that is not previously known to someone". WordWeb (2010)

Current affairs refer to any event that just occurred, this means the affairs that are associated with the present.

News is different from Current affairs because not all current affairs make it to the news. For a current event to become News, someone or a reporter must have taken interest in the spread of such event. If not a current event may occur without ever getting into the news until later in the future.

In the same way, Not all news item are current events. A person may be interested in an old story. Digging up age long information about remarkable stories becomes news. So an event need not be a current event before it becomes news.
