The art of editing newspapers and news pictures

First, art pictures are the eyes of science and technology news. How to present agricultural science and technology news in newspapers and periodicals in a form that readers love and enjoy, so that readers can have "zero distance" contact is a thorny problem that every agricultural science and technology reporter will encounter. The author thinks that art pictures are the eyes of agricultural science and technology news. An excellent photo of science and technology news fully embodies the connotation and has lasting influence. Compared with art photos, the manifestation of science and technology news photography mainly lies in the vivid display and full expression of its internal form, not in the perfection of external forms such as light, composition, color and tone, that is, the scene atmosphere of science and technology news events and the emotional color of news characters' emotions and personalities are fully expressed through necessary photography skills. Science and technology news pictures should have certain artistic charm, which should not only show the authenticity of science and technology news, but also have novelty. Therefore, scientific and technological news photography works should not only focus on the picture accurately, use exquisite light and have unique composition, but also have a clear narrative and clear meaning to the news content loaded on the picture. For example, in 2006 1 October 6th, Henan Science and Technology News1edition, I took the photo of Phalaenopsis in a small village in Laoyachen Office, Huiji District, Zhengzhou City. In the flowery greenhouse, the rural girls are concentrating on pruning Phalaenopsis, and the bright flowers of Phalaenopsis complement each other with the beauty of the girls. The work reflects the news events that new farmers grasp the market demand, develop characteristic economy and obtain good benefits, and reveals the current situation of the vigorous development of new countryside. Second, practicality is the life of science and technology news pictures. In recent years, people pay more and more attention to the non-scientific perspective of scientific and technological phenomena in the science and technology news reporting industry. The so-called non-scientific perspective does not mean that scientific and technological reports do not talk about science and technology, but the starting point of scientific and technological reports. From the perspective of popular science, ordinary readers are concerned about all kinds of new technologies, new processes, new ideas and new methods closely related to their production and life. Many agricultural science and technology news itself has strong application and popularization. Therefore, in addition to news value, the practicality of agricultural science and technology news pictures is extremely important. For example, after the publication of Henan Science and Technology News, many readers sent letters and calls asking to contact the interviewees, such as the pictures I took, such as fruit processing lengthening the economic chain of the fruit industry, cotton processing enriching the people, Sihuai medicine enriching farmers in Wuzhi, milk orders making dairy farmers laugh, and mud wall cultivation making Pleurotus nebrodensis grow bigger. At the same time, the new scientific methods and new ideas involved in these scientific news pictures have also attracted the attention of relevant leaders and agricultural extension departments, which has promoted the wider popularization of new scientific methods and new ideas. Of course, all kinds of new technologies, new processes, new ideas and new methods reported by agricultural science and technology news will be limited by the region. Therefore, when taking pictures of agricultural science and technology news, we must consider its applicable region and scope, otherwise it will lose its guidance and its practicality will be greatly reduced. Third, how to pay equal attention to artistry and practicality is the prerequisite for science and technology news to be loved by the masses. My film "Three-dimensional Planting Rich Farmers" is a scientific and technological news picture that reports the vigorous development of three-dimensional planting technology in greenhouse in Daliang Village, Chengguan Town, Xiuwu County. The picture captures the scene that vegetable farmers like to harvest tomatoes in the greenhouse, thus creating a vivid picture of scene blending, virtual reality and emotional contrast, showing the beauty of artistic conception of science and technology news photography: truth, scenery, emotion and people are integrated, reflecting the importance of artistry and practicality of science and technology news photography. If science and technology news pictures can realize the organic unity of artistry and practicality, and pay equal attention to artistry and practicality, then when spreading science and technology news information, readers can feel the connotation of science and technology news only by browsing pictures and be infected by the image of science and technology news pictures. The insiders believe that the image language of sci-tech news pictures can transcend language and cultural barriers and is not limited by education level or time. Therefore, it plays a great role in the dissemination of agricultural science and technology. The artistry of sci-tech news pictures includes the aesthetic pursuit of sci-tech news from the real reality. Therefore, artistry should belong to the embodiment of advanced aesthetic effect in science and technology news photography. This kind of artistry can make the audience quickly experience the aesthetic pleasure of sci-tech news photography and interpret the pursuit of ideals by human beings, and its significance is obvious. 4. Discarding the artistry and practicality of sci-tech news pictures is news first, which is a form of sci-tech news reporting and should follow the characteristics of news reporting. Photographers, like writers, choose and judge objective facts, then report them and pass the news facts to the audience through the media. Science and technology news photography has the basic qualities of news, such as freshness, importance, proximity, authenticity and objectivity. Science and technology news photography also has its own characteristics, that is, through photography, the audience can directly see objects and reflect news facts with static and instantaneous pictures. Therefore, the authenticity of pictures is the life of science and technology news photography. Sometimes we have to give up artistry in order to catch the news that happens instantly. In photography practice, in order to capture fleeting moving scenes, science and technology news photographers sometimes have no time to think about how to shoot a perfect composition. However, emphasizing the authenticity of science and technology news photography does not require photographers not to do any processing on photos, but to do necessary picture processing on news photos, such as cutting, repairing scratches, adding local light and adjusting contrast. However, practices that violate the principle of authenticity, such as arbitrary synthesis, splicing, and modification of pictures, should be eliminated. From the practice of scientific and technological photography for many years, if you want to take good photos of scientific and technological news, you must constantly accumulate experience, master the process of scientific and technological news, make full preparations, and give consideration to its artistry and practicality. Make the pictures of science and technology news achieve the following three characteristics: first, they can truly reflect the facts of science and technology news and make people feel its news value intuitively; Second, it has high artistry, giving people the enjoyment and pleasure of beauty and deepening the memory of its news connotation; Third, the conflict between artistry and practicality can be handled skillfully, and the two can be organically combined to serve the theme.
