Using Socket.io to emit and receive messages on the client

Vote count:

So I am using socket.io to send messages back and forth.

I would like to use the socket to raise events and catch them within the client itself. So far, I have tried:

socket.on('news', function(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

But, when I ran the following (from my chrome console):

socket.emit('news', {my: 'data'});

I did not get a console.log message.

Could anyone please help me achieve the desired result ?
