The Different Types of News
There are many different definitions of news. They include Human interest, Hard news, and Inverted pyramid style. Let’s look at a few of these different types of news. To get a more comprehensive understanding of these terms, I recommend reading “The New York Times Style Guide” by Stephen J. Milner, a historian of Renaissance Florence. In his book, Town Criers and the Information Economy of Renaissance Florence, Milner examines the importance of town criers.
Human interest
There are several ways to incorporate human interest in your news stories. You can write feature articles about specific events, people, organizations, or places. Human interest stories are considered soft news, as they often involve people or pets. For example, a feature story can be about an aspiring athlete. Another popular type of human interest story is a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a sports star. A profile article may focus on someone’s hobbies, appearance, or personal life.
Hard news
Hard news is news that’s important, urgent, and needs to be reported as soon as possible. Unlike soft news, hard news is factual, with data that can be analyzed. Examples of hard news include crime, politics, economics, international affairs, natural calamities, and more. Some examples of hard news are listed below. Hard news is also known as “Xiang Mu Lan Wen Ti Jin Bei Jie Chu Bing Shan Yi Jiao,” or Zheng Ji Gong Cheng.
Inverted pyramid style of news
While the traditional inverted pyramid structure is still popular in the world of news writing, it has lost some of its luster in the age of online media. While traditional print newspapers are constrained by column and page sizes, online publications offer more leeway in article length. Regardless of the media medium, the inverted pyramid style is one tool in the writer’s toolbox. This article format enables writers to present the most important information at the beginning of an article, while giving the reader plenty of time to digest the information.
Sources
News sources come in many forms and formats. Some of these include official reports and statements, eye witnesses, and government departments. Other news sources include trade bulletins and special body publications. In addition to official sources, reporters can also turn to public meetings and newspapers. These sources vary in size and complexity, but all are reliable. To learn more about the different types of news, keep reading. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the most important sources of news.
Time factor
Many people have speculated that the time factor in the news influences the quality of news stories. Newspapers, for instance, tend to publish longer stories, which are perceived as being more valuable. Despite the fact that the length of news stories does affect the amount of readers, the effect is less evident than one might expect. Despite this, time does have an important impact on news values. However, we are still learning more about how the time factor affects news quality.
