The reporting form of news

Generally speaking, it can be divided into four writing styles: inverted pyramid, positive pyramid, eclectic and straightforward. The eclectic style, also called Xinhua style, is a compromise between the inverted pyramid style and the regular pyramid style. The most important information in news is presented in the introduction, and then described according to the timeliness or logic of news.

The basic format of this model (except the title) is: first, the most important part of the event is concisely reflected in the introduction; Then in the second paragraph, this important part of the introduction is further elaborated in detail to form a support so that the audience will not form a psychological gap when accepting it. So the second paragraph is actually a transition; Then tell "stories" in chronological order. This kind of writing is to pay attention to the beginning, inheritance, transformation and integration of words, and strive for the fluency and accuracy of words. On the contrary, this writing style is suitable for organizations to use when making statements.
