Usenet news is an Internet tool (function) which allows you to read and post articles about any subject for people anywhere on the Internet to read. It is also very useful for carrying on discussions about just about any subject. Most Internet providers also offer UseNet News Reader so that you can access these newsgroups.

"With the advent of computer telecommunications and what are
known as computer participation systems, the Church is offered
further means for fulfilling her mission. Methods of facilitating communication and dialogue among her own members can strengthen
the bonds of unity between them. Immediate access to information
makes it possible for her to deepen her dialogue with the
contemporary world."
-- Pope John Paul II, World Communications Day, May 27, 1989
