1. What is news?
News is anything that pertains to your immediate environment or that reflects on current events in your field of expertise. It must be presented succinctly and succinctly, so your audience can grasp it easily and remember it vividly.
Accuracy must be ensured if we want to guide people correctly throughout their lives, in the right direction.
News is judged and assessed by many, from journalists and editors to readers and listeners. Its impact is greatly determined by factors such as individual values (Schultz 2007; Phillips 2015; Caple & Bednarek 2015), belief systems of journalists (Bourdieu & Wacquaint 1992; Harcup 2015; O’Neill & Harcup 2009), and social environment (Schultz 2007; Phillips 2015).
2. What is a story?
Storytelling is an entertaining or educational narrative that involves original, real or fictional characters. It may be told for entertainment or educational purposes.
Typically, a story consists of three components: Characters, Plot, and Setting.
The plot is the core element of any story. It’s a sequence of events leading up to an exciting climactic moment and satisfying conclusion.
Storytelling is also about how events shape characters and, most significantly, how they shape each individual involved.
3. What is a report?
Reports are written documents that deliver focused and pertinent content to a particular audience. They’re commonly used in government, business, education, science and other fields.
Reports differ from essays in that they provide facts rather than personal judgments or opinions. Furthermore, reports often employ visual aids like graphs, charts and tables to back up their findings.
These documents are organized formally into sections and typically consist of an introduction, body and conclusion. Often there is also an executive summary included.
4. What is an interview?
An interview is a conversation between an employer and job candidate that allows both parties to evaluate one another. It’s your opportunity to learn more about the position and company, showcase your strengths, and convince the hiring manager you are suitable for their position.
An interview can be structured or unstructured, and may include questions designed to test specific skill sets like communication. Additionally, this is your opportunity to demonstrate whether you feel confident in unfamiliar scenarios not included on your resume.
5. What is a letter?
Letters are written communications sent between two individuals, typically by handwriting, typing or printing and sent via post or email.
Formal letters are written for official purposes and adhere to specific guidelines. Their format and structure are determined by the recipient as well as the content being conveyed.
Letters can be sent from individuals to businesses or other organizations and may contain personal or professional information. There are various types of letters, such as business letters, official letters and social letters.
6. What is a follow-up story?
in the media. It often provides context and provides a more comprehensive assessment than what a breaking story would offer.
Follow-ups should be written using an inverted pyramid format, with the most important aspect (the news angle) coming first and always including background information to put the story into context. In some cases, follow-ups may use different sources than those used for original stories – not only adding variety but providing a fresh take on the same issue.
