News is an important feature that distinguishes news commentary from general argumentative or theoretical articles. News is the most basic feature of reportage, and its core is scientific truth and accuracy, not the artistic truth of the author's psychological expression in literary works.

2. Different presentation forms

The function of reportage to reflect and promote reality is based on reality. The purpose of readers' reading is to expand their understanding. The kindness, participation and influence of real events and characters on readers are incomparable to novels.

3. Different timeliness

This is why reportage often has a sensational effect and its social function is relatively direct. News should also pay attention to timeliness, that is, to meet the psychological needs of readers.

The structure of news

In the structure of each news, it generally includes five parts: title, introduction, text, background and conclusion. The first three parts are the main parts, and the last two parts are the auxiliary parts. Titles generally include titles, titles and subheadings; Preface is the first paragraph or sentence at the beginning of a news story, which simply reveals the core content of the story.

The subject is the subject of news, and expressing the theme with sufficient facts is a further expansion and interpretation of the content of the lead; Background refers to the social and natural environment in which news takes place. Background and postscript are sometimes implied in the theme. When reading news, we should pay attention to the six elements of news (that is, the six elements of narrative): people, time, place, the cause, process and result of events.
