I know that all the people who preface books are celebrities and the big dipper in this field, so that authors and works can have influence. Therefore, when Yu Sheng came to me with the manuscript and asked me to preface it, I immediately refused. But he couldn't stand his repeated pleading with his subordinates, and finally promised him to "put it down and watch" in his heart.

He left the army for the first time after serving as the commander of Jiuquan Military Division. Director Wang of the Political Department sent comrades to accompany him. Eight years passed quickly. As the leader of Yu Sheng, I certainly know him better. I firmly believe that his writing a book is not a whim, but a serious and responsible decision. Yu Sheng's writing skills are good, so he has been a literate and "penholder" in Jiuquan Military Division since he joined the army. 1982 10 after he joined the army and came to a border guard in Gansu, the company discovered and used his strengths, which made him contribute to the cultural and educational cause of officers and men. In the second year, military cadres popularized high school culture, and military sub-divisions held classes. He was transferred to be a Chinese teacher. In the second half of the year, he was recruited by military academies. During more than 10 years as a divisional news officer and in charge of militia news reports in the whole region, he took the lead in collecting and writing manuscripts and achieved remarkable results, and was commended by his superiors year after year; Through various forms of training organs and grassroots journalists, many comrades have become the backbone of military and local news reporting.

Jiuquan Military Division is the largest military division in Gansu Military Region. Yu Sheng traveled between the people's armed forces departments and border guards in nine cities (districts and counties) in the city, and wrote and published a large number of news works, some of which I have read before, some of which I wrote about myself (including those in the manuscript, which I mostly deleted when reviewing the manuscript), and some of which I have never read. It is natural for news cadres to publish news articles, so I didn't seem to pay special attention to it in the past. This time, I learned that the manuscript he published was hard-won; He devoted himself to the news propaganda work of the unit and worked hard. I am very happy to have such a subordinate, and I am deeply gratified that he has done so. Suddenly, I feel that it is my responsibility to write this little love for him without caring about others.

In the book News Writing Experience, Yu Sheng analyzed some of her works and told everyone how she wrote so many news articles with a modest attitude and plain language, with obvious characteristics. One is natural fluency. If you have something to say, just be brief. Everything is clean and tidy. The language is plain and unpretentious, with no axe and chisel marks. Reading it has a feeling of intimacy, as if he were talking to his friends. The second is to suit both refined and popular tastes. Through thorough reasoning and simple explanation, no matter what level of education or occupation, readers will learn from different angles and benefit from it. For example, Chapters 5, 6 and 22 talk about how to improve the quality of news reports, which journalists and correspondents should strive for; Most chapters of the whole book, such as the first four chapters, are written about the basic skills that anyone who uses pen and ink should master, and reading them will be of great help to improve his writing level. The third is rich information. The news articles quoted in the book involve politics, economy, science and technology, education, culture, military and other fields, which will help journalists, correspondents to write articles and writers to consult all kinds of materials. Many cited manuscripts contain profound background materials, so the whole book has the value of encyclopedic knowledge reference books; The cited manuscripts include news, newsletters, investigation reports, comments and other genres, and most of them are relatively successful news works, which have certain guidance and demonstration functions for beginners of news writing.

Yu Sheng is a person who strives for perfection in knowledge and contributes to social consciousness. It should be easier to write some kitsch words with his current good handwriting, or to "edit" several books that will surely sell well with paste scissors, but he insists on writing on such a caring person, even if there are not many topics, thus diluting utility and revealing his perseverance and strong sense of social responsibility. This ideological realm cannot be separated from the training and education of the army. There is no doubt that this book is a true story and a shortcut for those who study news writing, which is worth learning from. If you read this book carefully, you will be influenced by news writing and literary creation from the rich achievements and valuable experience accumulated by the author. At the same time, we can learn from the valuable learning spirit and efficient working methods of an excellent secretary, which is of great benefit to learning and being a man.

foreword

Writing this book is really accidental, because I never dreamed of writing a book.

I have been a soldier for more than 20 years and have been engaged in writing. I have also written 10 news for many years in full-time (part-time) positions. This year, I obeyed the overall situation and took off my military uniform. Originally, I wanted to put aside the pen shaking and spend the rest of my life easily. Unexpectedly, after I "undressed for nearly half a year" (Qing Yuan Mei's poem "On Summer"), the army sent someone to find me, saying that I would hold a training class for political cadres in the whole region and arrange a news writing class, and asked me if I had any ready-made handouts for the leaders to teach. This incident caused ripples in my already calm heart, which affected my memory and attachment to military life. Yes, from the second half of 1989 to 10 of 199, my pen, camera and video camera were used together, * * * more than 4,000 pieces of news were adopted by various media, 1400 pieces of news were only published in written form, and more than 30 pieces were in military news appraisal or various essay-writing activities. I have made some achievements and accumulated some experience. The authorities sent me to the border guards and people's armed forces departments of nine counties (cities, districts) to hold news writing training courses, covering an area of 6.5438+0.9 million square kilometers in Jiuquan. I tried my best to tell my comrades-in-arms, local youths (militia), especially news writing enthusiasts about my news gathering and writing experience, which made many people cross the threshold of news writing and began to publish news articles continuously. In the issue of 1998, Northwest Militia magazine reported some of my achievements in this regard with the title of "Bitter News Road".

I have been teaching journalism for many years. It's been so long, the leaders and comrades still remember it clearly, and they expect me to come to power again, which shows that the method of my past lectures is still desirable and the content of the lectures is still practical. Why don't I sort out some memories of my past lectures for news writing lovers to learn from? The so-called "fake thousands of books, true words" and my true words, I think, are the wishes of scholars, which is why I came up with this popular title and made up my mind to write it. Unfortunately, lesson plans have never been used in lectures in the past. Even though I drew up an outline, I didn't collect it because I was familiar with it. Today, I have to start from scratch. This is the harm of bad accumulation! Based on my own experience in writing news articles, this book quotes various articles published in military and local newspapers and tells you how to publish news articles in a conversational tone. At the same time, by participating in some important activities and narratives of important events, we can feel a kind of power to forge ahead, which is so important to people's life! I hope my little experience can make readers gain something.

After that? commemorate

I feel much more relaxed after writing this book. Before and during the writing process, many friends kindly reminded me that writing a book for study is better than writing a book for literature, which will attract more readers. I said that I have experience in this topic, and I also have the responsibility and impulse to write it. I believe readers will like it ... Anyway, this book finally came to Fu Zi, which made me feel relieved and very gratified. In the process of finishing this book, I got the guidance and help from the head of the army. Senior Colonel Chen Qijun, member of the Standing Committee of Jiuquan Municipal Committee and commander of Jiuquan Military Division, took time to review the manuscript and made a preface. Some intimate friends have made a lot of efforts in various aspects, and I am deeply grateful. Because I didn't come from a regular school, I didn't have a comprehensive and systematic grasp of news theory, so this book only pays attention to the experience accumulated in news writing practice, which is too popular and simple; Just talk about how to publish your hard-worked manuscript in newspapers and periodicals. Maybe some methods are against the principle and should not be advocated. From conception, writing to printing, it took nearly half a year to write in a hurry; To illustrate my topic, more than 100 articles cited were published in various military newspapers and periodicals, but some of them were of high quality, some of them were of average quality, and the selection was not very strict. When they were compiled into this book, they were not changed in order to maintain the characteristics of the original manuscripts in the original newspapers and periodicals ... In short, omissions are inevitable, so please criticize and correct me.
