Definition
新闻 (xīnwén) is the standard word for 'news' — what you hear on the radio, watch on TV, or read online. It contrasts with 消息 (xiāoxi), which is broader, meaning any piece of information or news, often unofficial or personal. 报道 (bàodào) is a formal report or news article, usually longer and more detailed.
