Goodman News refers to a concept in the field of statistics and information theory, particularly in relation to communication systems. It involves the idea that certain types of information can be communicated more efficiently. Specifically, it highlights how predictable or redundant information requires less space or bandwidth to convey, allowing for effective transmission of messages. The principle emphasizes optimizing how we share data by recognizing when information is deemed "good" or useful, thereby improving clarity and efficiency in communication, whether in written, spoken, or digital formats.
