The writing angle of news writing

The word "angle" comes from photography and is a visual concept. There is a story abroad about two people looking out of a wooden house in the forest. One sees the stars all over the sky, and the other sees the muddy road. Why? That is, two people look at it from different angles, one looking up and the other looking down.

News perspective is a different aspect chosen for reporting news facts. Among them, it is divided into the perspective of topic selection: that is, reporting the same news event and person from different aspects; Material angle: that is, the same news theme, choose different materials to report; Writing angle: the same theme, the same material, different expressions.
