I am a high school student, and I want to learn news writing. Are there any colleges specialized in this field?

Just learn these things by yourself. Reading the newspaper, you can remember some words with very high frequency. News is actually those elements, and it is easier without flowery words.

News South Normal University is a little stronger.

Here is a copy, you can have a look.

The facts should be vivid. News facts themselves should be innovative, vivid and touching, and at the same time vividly describe the plot and details, and be good at telling news facts in a clever way to avoid being stiff, rigid and old-fashioned. For example, the method of reproducing some scenes can be adopted; Render the atmosphere, deepen the impression, contrast the characters and highlight the theme; You can also use the method of contrast to make the news facts more vivid and full. In addition, there are some methods, such as point-to-face combination and finishing touch pen, which can make facts "speak" better and enhance their appeal.

The acquisition of news facts is often accidental; A thoughtful and thoughtful author is bound to get valuable news facts. Once he gets them, he will hold them tightly and follow them closely. Why didn't Foreign Tofu win the first prize of Shanghai Good News? "Is a good example. The author usually cares about people who eat tofu, and will naturally notice the boxed tofu production line imported from Japan to solve the problem of Shanghai people eating tofu. From this, a problem of blind introduction was put forward, which was very pertinent and attracted the attention of central leading comrades and Shanghai leaders, and then caught a news: "Learn a lesson from an imported tofu production line-do a good job in technology introduction according to China's national conditions. "From typical to general, the guiding significance is more universal and profound. The imported "foreign tofu" production line, from "eating tofu"-the lesson of introducing technology-does a good job of technology introduction according to the national conditions. Finally, it is concluded that there is hope for the mechanized production of tofu, but it is difficult to expect to improve the consumption of tofu. This cycle and rise is simply a complete art work of news interview.

Writing fresh facts is the basic requirement of news writing. The news surname is "new". Only new things can provide information for readers. News should guide practical work and real life, which are always advancing, changing and developing, and new things and problems emerge one after another. In news writing, we should highlight the word "new" and constantly tell readers, listeners and viewers the latest changes and developments of objective things in order to achieve the purpose of inspiration, education and encouragement. Therefore, novelty is the fundamental condition to realize news value. The press calls the ever-changing and lively things in real life "live fish", which provides people with new situations, new people, new experiences, new problems, new achievements and new knowledge.

The "newness" of news lies in new facts and new materials. News should report what happened "for the first time" and what happened "for the first time" as much as possible. Of course, this should also be viewed from a global perspective. Some things are new in this area, but they may not be new locally, in the whole city and nationwide. There are still some things that need to be reported constantly because of their ideological content and pertinence, but such reports should also try to choose new models, new features and new angles. In particular, some topics that need to be repeatedly publicized should be studied from a new angle, so the sameness will not be new and the effect will not be good.

Please look at a news published by Yangcheng Evening News in June1982+February 2 1:

Dazhai doesn't eat clay pot rice either.

Xiyang, No.20, Shanxi Dazhai Brigade no longer eats the same pot. Now, they have distributed all 860 mu of cultivated land to 130 households for contracting, and implemented the responsibility system of all-in-one responsibility. A coal mine, a soy sauce factory, three tractors, 200 acres of orchards and 800 acres of forests that were originally operated collectively were also contracted to individuals.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Jia Changsuo, secretary of the party branch of the brigade, led the members to divide the responsibility fields one by one from the grasshopper ditch to the wolf nest palm and Kangjialing. The joy of the members who have gained autonomy is beyond words. Jia Chengrang, former commander of Dazhai Brigade and now deputy secretary of Dazhai Commune, said in an interview: "We have just started now, and the ultra-left system we used to engage in is no longer working. We Dazhai people will never take the' Dazhai Road' again. I have been to lankao county, where the conditions are worse than ours, the enthusiasm is higher and the development speed is faster than ours. However, our Dazhai members dug up the land and didn't work for two and a half dollars, and many of them were wasted. One of Dazhai's classics can't be read anymore. "

From today, everyone in Dazhai has their own story. According to the policy, each of them is assigned to two thirds of the land, and the whole brigade has a total of 123 mu, accounting for 15% of the cultivated land. In the past, members of Dazhai relied on the production team to distribute food uniformly, which could not meet the requirements. We walked around Dazhai Village and saw some members at the door holding clay pots and planting cabbage and tomatoes. The family sideline of Dazhai members is very active now, and many members have chicken nests and rabbit cages at their doorsteps. Many families have also set up pigsty, and individuals have raised 140 pigs, and bought 70 pigs in the past two months. At the entrance to the village, we met the old farmer Jia Jiusheng. He stroked his beloved three cows and smiled at us and said: the central government's policy is in line with my wishes. I sell pigs and rabbits alone, and I will earn 500 yuan this year; I raised six hens and ate all the eggs. Two cows bought this year are pregnant, and there are four pigs in the pigsty.

At that time, the implementation of the production responsibility system and the division of private plots in rural areas was not news in the whole country, but it happened in Dazhai, which was a new fact and aroused people's strong interest. Dazhai was once famous all over the country for taking the lead in eating "big pot rice". They are "Left" and want to order others to do the same. As a result, the more you learn, the poorer you get, and everyone suffers. Now the whole country has corrected "Left" mistakes. Writing news from this angle is full of new ideas and makes people feel fresh and cordial.

Promptness and timeliness are another feature of news reporting. The novelty of news requires timeliness in addition to the novelty of content. News should spread information and communicate information in time. If it is dragged on, it will become "old news" and will not play its due role. News pays attention to timeliness, which is an important sign that news is different from other styles. In a sense, the timeliness of news determines the value of news. The press has an image metaphor that news is "fragile", that is to say, if we don't pay attention to timeliness, miss the opportunity and the times have changed, news will depreciate or even be worthless.

News requires writing about recent events, preferably "today's news" or "yesterday's news". Learn to find news at any time, grab news, write articles in time and publish them in time. For example, the news mentioned earlier that "Dazhai no longer eats the same pot" attracts readers and makes them full of interest, precisely because it is the news of the day, which was written on the spot: the branch secretary led the members to divide the field at 9 am, and the members had their own plots from that day on. Guangzhou Yangcheng Evening News published the fresh facts that happened in Shanxi yesterday, so it has a strong timeliness. This kind of live news of the day is especially valuable.

Let's introduce the genre of news again. News genre refers to the expression of news report content. The most common genres in newspapers are news, newsletters, critical news and so on.

News is the most important genre in news reports. It selects the freshest facts from real life, reports in time, has concise words and prominent themes, and is the main form of news reporting. Messages can generally be divided into short messages, short messages, long messages and comprehensive messages.

Communication studies evolved from news. Because of its longer length, it can report news facts more concretely, vividly and vividly. Communication can be divided into features, sketches, travel notes, interviews, introductions, short stories (short messages) and so on.

Commentary news is news with discussion nature, mainly news. Commentary news is different from commentary, and it is based on news facts.

Different styles of languages have different characteristics. Literary works should use vivid language, scientific papers should use logical and rational language, and news reports should use news language.

Features of news language:

The first characteristic is concreteness.

News speaks with facts, but facts are not abstract. They are composed of time, place, people, events, causes and results of events, so news language must be specific and use abstract concepts as little as possible. This requires a truthful description of specific people, specific things, specific time, specific place and specific process, as well as the scene description and detailed description of specific images.

Mr. Lu Xun once said that writing articles should be "sincere, whitewashed, less artificial and not ostentatious". News works should be more authentic and concrete. Write specifically. The news is highly credible.

Some people think that to write specific facts, you have to describe them. Writing words such as "flushed and full of energy", writing momentum such as "overwhelming" and writing mental outlook such as "high spirits and high morale" can't actually make people have a concrete feeling about objective facts. Of course, news requires vivid words, and does not absolutely exclude images and artistic language, but it must be based on accurately and concretely reflecting objective things. Don't think that copying a lot of gorgeous words from a dictionary can attract people and move people. If you only pay attention to words and expressions, pile up rhetoric; It is difficult for such news works to really attract readers and listeners, and it is also difficult to produce strong appeal.

Writing news is different from poetry. From a linguistic point of view, simplicity is always appropriate. In addition, the news requirements are completely true and the newspaper space is limited. Therefore, we should not use reasonable imagination and fiction when writing news, but pay attention to simplicity and simplicity in expression. Therefore, news reports use more line drawing techniques. In particular, writing characters or scenes requires language generalization and content concreteness. For example, writing a character newsletter "Pioneer Warrior of the Working Class in China-Iron Blood Wang Man Jinxi" used such a passage:

Wang Jinxi fainted in pain. After waking up, he saw that the derrick had not been put down, and several workers gathered around to rescue him. Wang Jinxi was in a hurry and said to everyone, "I'm not made of mud. How to break up when you touch it? " Say that finish, suddenly stood up and raised his hands, continue to command the derrick, blood gurgled from his trouser legs and shoes and socks.

This plot, only about 100 words, but Wang Jinxi's tenacious performance after the injury, the hard-core character of the working class in China is vividly portrayed. The second characteristic is accuracy.

News must be factual, not vague, ambiguous, exaggerated or demeaning.

Examples of news distortion or inconsistency caused by inaccurate language use often occur in reports. Some concepts are unclear, such as the "uneven bitterness and happiness" that used to be reported in newspapers, so I won't mention it now. In addition, when publicizing the excellent situation in rural areas, the words "Good policies, God helps and people work hard" are widely circulated. These words are vivid on the surface and seem reasonable, but they are actually inaccurate. Is it true that in the past 20 years, without help, people have never worked hard? Therefore, in news writing, it is not appropriate to use these inaccurate languages at will.

Some use vague statements instead of clear and definite statements. For example, some news writing likes to use vague words such as "recently", "not long ago" and "for a long time" instead of the specific time that can be expressed; Some use more general sentences such as "many", "countless" and "the broad masses" instead of the specific quantity that can be expressed; Others use ambiguous sentences such as "probably", "almost" and "maybe" instead of the concrete degree.

The third feature is simplicity.

News needs are quick and timely. This determines that the news language should be concise, straight to the point and straightforward.

How can news be concise?

First, a piece of news only reports one fact or only writes about one person. In this way, the content and structure are relatively simple and easy to be coherent and clear. If the reported events are more complicated and involve more people, we can use the method of decomposing the report to make it shorter.

Second, write the facts directly. Don't wear boots and hats, learn to select facts, let the facts speak for themselves, and explain the ins and outs of things clearly and neatly.

Third, state the facts directly without too much explanation.

The fourth characteristic is popularity.

News is a fact that people are generally concerned about, and it is mass. Both intellectuals and people with little cultural accomplishment should learn about major events at home and abroad through the media. It is necessary to write reports in the written language closest to spoken language, especially the language used in radio and television news, which should be closer to spoken language. If possible, try to use less or avoid using some words or words that only a few people or some people can understand.
