We propose a new presentation of the Demia\'{n}ski-Newman (DN) solution of the axisymmetric Einstein equations. We introduce new dimensionless parameters $p$, $q$ and $s$, but keeping the Boyer-Lindquist coordinate transformation used for the Kerr metric in the Ernst method. The family of DN metrics is studied and it is shown that the main role of $s$ is to determine the singularities, which we obtain by calculating the Riemann tensor components and the invariants of curvature. So, $s$ reveals itself as the parameter of the singular rings on the inner ergosphere.
