notizie

Notizie is the plural form of the Italian noun notizia, meaning news or a piece of information, especially regarding recent events. A single item of information is a notizia, while a collection of reports constitutes notizie. In contemporary Italian, notizie is widely used in journalism and media to refer to news items across politics, economy, culture, and local events. Media outlets often organize content under sections or headings titled Notizie, Notizie dall'Italia, Notizie dal mondo, or Notizie locali. The term can also appear in compound expressions such as notizie di cronaca (crime news), notizie sportive (sports news), and notizie di servizio (service notices).

Etymology: Notizia derives from Latin notitia, meaning knowledge or awareness, through medieval and early Italian development. The plural notizie follows standard Italian pluralization rules.

Usage notes: Notizie can denote the totality of a news program or portal’s feed and is not restricted to print; it appears in radio and television news bulletins, websites, and social media. The phrase notizie false is used for misinformation or fake news, while notizie affidabili denotes credible news. In addition to Italian, several Romance languages have cognates with related meanings (for example, notícies in Catalan, noticias in Spanish, nouvelles in French), reflecting a shared Latin root related to knowledge and information.
