What is news topic selection?

In the field of news reporting, topic selection refers to

-News worthy of reporting (before writing begins)

-Planning news (reporter's newspaper theme)

-News being written (selected by the department head)

Specifically, there are at least the following 20 ways to find a topic-

1, the topic designated or arranged by the superior;

2. Please edit and select a topic;

3. Ask the news hotline receptionist to choose a topic;

4. Ask senior journalists for redundant topics.

5. Find a topic with your eyes through "sweeping the street" and find a topic from others through "blind date"

Go into communities, markets, villages, shops, factories, campuses (dormitories, offices, classrooms, laboratories, conference rooms, lecture halls, concert halls, stadiums, libraries, canteens, squares), grass-roots units, and corners forgotten or neglected by others. Talk to people more, ask people more, think more questions, and capture information in small talk.

6. Find a topic from your own experience, but don't write a composition. Be sure to write it as a third party.

7. Find topics from things around you, and get topics from classmates, relatives and friends, teachers (research results), security guards and other people.

8. Cultivate informants and let them provide topics.

Distribute business cards, make extensive contact with people in the society (all units and industries), make friends, and develop a considerable number of information workers, so as to lure them to benefit and be emotional.

9. Choose a theme from the upcoming events.

10, grasp the "first" news (first appearance or occurrence)

1 1, looking for news from various "changes" or "unchanged"

12, looking for news from various "successes"

13, looking for news from various "problems"

Grasp the "social hot spots", grasp the thorny "long-standing problems" and grasp the doubtful problems among the masses.

14, comparing the previous news with the recent similar news-revisiting the old place; Visit an old friend again.

15. Change the reporting angle of the news before.

16, doing "seasonal" news

There are special calendars (major festivals, anniversaries, diaries of people, seasonal changes, etc.). )

17, looking for news from the internet

Browse all kinds of network information, enter * * website, company website, school website, chat room, BBS, celebrity blog, etc. Look at what netizens are paying attention to recently, and which posts have the highest click-through rate and the most posts.

18, looking for "similar topics" from recent news of different media.

19, looking for the "second landing point" of reporting news.

I often read newspapers and listen to the radio, look for news clues from some published small news, interview carefully, dig deep and make the small draft bigger.

20, looking for news coverage of the "landing" topic.

Extension: How to Deal with Sensitive Topics

Situation 1: Take care of the overall situation, observe discipline and give up reporting, but you can try to know the relevant facts on the premise of ensuring safety, because you may be able to report some facts in the future to help you understand the society.

Situation 2: Balance reporting, speak with facts, keep evidence, ensure their own safety and manuscript safety, pay attention to social effects and pursue constructiveness (not destructiveness).
