Health News INTRODUCTION In the past, people lived in their home countries or villages and they had no trouble communicating with their fellow citizens.

Morphology is included in the branch of Morphology is the science that studies word formation and the function of changing word forms.
This aims to obtain different meanings from a grammatical and semantic point of view.
(Triatmiko, 2.
Morphology has encouraged several researchers to research morphology, namely the word formation process.
This process is a way to create new words and terms in English related to other branches of According to Yule .
, word formation processes use some theories, such as Coinage.
Borrowing.
Compounding.
Blending.

, and Multiple processes.
There are several word formation processes, but this research will only examine 2-word formation processes, namely compound words and acronyms in online news about health.
Currently, technology has become increasingly sophisticated, making it easier for humans to access various information using the internet.
One of them is reading news online and using the internet to access health news.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome = AIDS .
self-contained apparatus = scuba .
The Durham Market Place = DUMP, a term universally used in Durham.
