Structurally, each piece of news generally includes five parts: title, introduction, theme, background and conclusion. The first three are the main parts, and the last two are the auxiliary parts. The title, introduction and theme are essential. Titles generally include reference titles, main titles and sub-titles; Introduction is the first paragraph or sentence at the beginning of news, which briefly reveals the core content of news.
The subject is the backbone of the news, expressing the theme with sufficient facts, and further expanding and explaining the content of the lead; Background refers to the social and natural environment in which news takes place. Background and conclusion can sometimes be implied in the text. When reading news, we should pay attention to its six elements (that is, the six narrative elements): people, time, place, the cause, process and result of events.
News propaganda
(a) publicity activities to achieve the purpose of publicity in the form of news reports.
(2) Important remarks made through the news media. News and propaganda are two different forms of consciousness. News mainly reports and disseminates facts, while propaganda mainly disseminates opinions and attitudes and teaches people to be reasonable.
But strictly speaking, news does not exclude opinions, and even expresses some opinions through facts in most cases. Propaganda to spread ideas to the audience often relies on facts, and sometimes even directly implies them. News and propaganda have similarities in using facts, but there are differences in the way and degree of using facts.
