Program types of TV news commentary programs

China's TV news commentary programs can be divided into two categories according to the different proportions of opinion information and narrative information in the program content and the different combination forms: the main evaluation type and the evaluation combination type. In the main TV news commentary programs, the ratio of opinion information to narrative information is almost 4: 1, and narrative information is basically used as the news title of TV news commentary programs. This kind of TV news commentary program is similar to news commentary articles in print media. However, as an audio-visual electronic medium, television will certainly give full play to its communication symbol advantages. Therefore, in the mainstream TV news commentary programs, the best communication symbol carrying opinion information must be spoken language, and the best communication channel is conversation. According to the experience of daily life, conversation scenes will definitely affect the expression of people's opinions, thus restricting the dissemination effect of opinion information. In order to further deepen the understanding of TV news commentary programs, according to different communication modes and successful cases, this kind of programs are divided into three modes.

(1) A conversational news commentary represented by newsline. As the first personalized news commentary program in China, "News Line" has been the trump card program of Phoenix TV since 1999 was launched, thus forming the commentary program tape of Phoenix TV. The program adopts the way of question-and-answer communication between two people. Commentators are the main body of opinion information dissemination, but the host plays the role of "server", so commentators become the core competitiveness of such programs.

(2) Family news comments represented by "threesome". "A threesome with a strong man" shows the scene of family and friends chatting in private space. In domestic regular news commentary programs, the host and guests are the main disseminators of opinion information, and the host plays the role of "server" and "kicker", so the host has certainly become the core competitiveness of such programs.

(3) Sharon-style news commentary represented by Tell the Truth. "To tell the truth" here refers to some programs hosted by Cui Yongyuan in his early days, with the confrontation of various viewpoints as the main form. These programs adhere to the concept of "every Monday, every topic is a hot spot, every point is a war of words, and every battle is cremated". In the salon-style news commentary program, the guest is the main body of opinion information dissemination, and the host plays the role of "referee" at this time. The reason why the host doesn't participate is to keep the balance of the viewpoints of both sides of the debate, reserve the third-party position for the guests on or off the scene, and finally make the program present as diverse viewpoints as possible. In TV news commentary programs, the percentage of opinion information and narrative information can be roughly divided into two categories: one is close to 1: 1, and the other is close to 1: 4. The author calls the TV news commentary program whose ratio of opinion information to narrative information is close to 1: 1, and the content of the program is expressed by the alternation of two kinds of information. The TV news commentary program whose ratio of opinion information to narrative information is close to 1: 4, and the program content is expressed by the parallel appearance of two kinds of information, is called post-commentary program.

At the same time, on the one hand, according to the difference of the main communication symbols carrying the program content, there are two comment modes: (1) investigative news comment programs represented by focus interviews. In this mode of news commentary program, the picture is the main communication symbol bearing the content of the program, and the "lens" of "speaking with facts" is the main expression of narrative information; (2) Interview news commentary programs of news parties represented by "News Reception Room". In this mode, voice is the main communication symbol carrying the content of the program, and narrative information is mainly expressed through the "live dictation" of the news parties.

On the other hand, following the names of well-known program types, the types of post-narration comments with distinctive host comments can be divided into three categories: (1) information combination category, with China Weekly and World Weekly as typical representatives. In this kind of program, in addition to the sharp comments of the host, the special combination of program news information paves the way for the host's comments; (2) People's livelihood news, with "1860 News Eye" and "Nanjing Zero Distance" as typical representatives, the host woke up the dreamer with the word "telling news"; (3) Reading newspapers, represented by "Reading newspapers for the first time in Ma Bin" and "Reading newspapers every day", the host established the public opinion orientation of the program through the summary after interpretation.
