How to write a story in a newspaper

The six elements of news: time, place, person, cause, passage, and result of the event. News composition: title, introduction, main body, background, conclusion. Characteristics: real and concrete, rapid response, clear point of view, concise language. News writing is the written means of expression of news facts, is an important part of accurate, distinctive and timely reporting of news. In the news practice activities, the interview is the foundation and premise of news writing, without the interview, there is no way to get the news facts, grasp the news material. But through the interviews to get a lot of first-hand news materials, not all can be reported, but also after analysis, screening, refining, tailoring and processing, so that it can become a news work.

Today, I would like to introduce the general rule of news writing and the characteristics and writing methods of several common news topics. To engage in news writing, we must first know what news is.

News is the report of newly occurring facts. This definition clearly stipulates the implementation of the relationship between news: the origin of news is the facts, news is the report of the facts, the facts are the first, news is the second, the facts in the first, the report in the second, it can also be said that the facts are the composition of the news of the cell, leaving the facts, the news does not exist.

News writing, in fact, is to objectively recount the facts, comment on the facts.

Let's read a piece of journalism that won the first prize in the first "China News Award".

China, full of investment opportunities on the eastern coast of 100 "three-funded" enterprises survey (excerpts)

The reporter's recent survey of 100 "three-funded" enterprises on the eastern coast of the region found that 39 of them have successively made additional investments. This shows that foreign investment in China is profitable.

The survey was conducted last month. Using the same interview outline, the reporter selected 100 "three-funded" enterprises in five provinces and cities -- Fujian, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Shandong -- to conduct the survey, one by one, on a number of issues, including whether the enterprises are profitable, whether they enjoy autonomy, and how the infrastructure and preferential policies are being implemented.

Among the 100 enterprises surveyed, 77 have made considerable profits, and of the 23 enterprises that have not yet made profits, only 8 have suffered losses due to poor management. The reasons for the remaining 15 enterprises failing to make profits include rapid depreciation, repayment of loans, or the early stage of operation, and so on. The operators of these businesses believe that profitability is a matter of time for them.

Japanese wholly-owned Xiamen Putian Garment Co. is satisfied with the infrastructure provided in its region, with general manager Tadara Sato telling reporters, "The infrastructure here is comparable to that overseas." Mr. Jerry, General Manager of the Sino-US joint venture Lumax Storage Disc Co., Ltd. which is also located in this area, made an even higher evaluation: "Xiamen is a rare and good area with land, sea, and air transportation, good communications, and a concentration of talented people." Another 98 companies in response to a reporter's question about how you evaluate the role of infrastructure in the region, answered "good", "general", "poor "The responses were 58, 22 and 18, respectively.

The survey showed that 76 companies were satisfied with the quality of Chinese employees. Dr. Martin Porst, director of Shanghai Volkswagen, a joint venture between China and the Federal Republic of Germany, commented. Dr. Martin Post, director of the Chinese-German joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen, commented that the hard-working, intelligent, active and honest Chinese partners were an important guarantee of the effectiveness of the German Federal Republic's technology.

Other questions that the journalists included in the survey were: "What do you think of the services provided by the government", "Do you have autonomy in production and management", "How is your spare time in China? Eighteen foreign investors believe that "the government is a pillar for foreign-invested enterprises" and that "the government's help is real", while 17 believe that "they do not receive much help from the government". 82 foreign investors believe that "the government is a pillar for foreign-invested enterprises", while 82 believe that "they do not receive much help from the government". Eighty-two said they have more autonomy and are able to manage their enterprises independently and autonomously, while the other 18 said they are often subject to control and intervention from outside the enterprise, mainly from some government departments. The majority of foreigners were disappointed with the "monotony" and "dullness" of their spare time.
