News genre refers to the standardized basic categories and styles of news reports. With the rapid development of journalism, the types of news reports have increased, and the news genre has also developed and changed. The basic difference between different genres of news works is that the means of expression, tone and structure of news materials are different.

Broadly speaking, according to the content and expression, it can be divided into news reports (such as news, communication, special topics, interviews, investigation reports, news briefings, etc. ), news comments (such as editorials, commentator's articles, comments, ideological comments, etc. ) and news supplements (such as essays, essays, poems, memoirs, reportage, etc. ) in the traditional sense of China.

Generally, it can be divided into five categories, such as news, communication, commentary, photography and comics. Some in-depth reports, close-ups and investigation reports are juxtaposed with the above and divided into eight categories. With the wide application of electronic means of communication in news reports, the deepening of news business reform and the strengthening of journalists' innovative consciousness, the classification of news genres tends to be diversified.
