The good idea is highly condensed and refined, always in the phrase。
YesComment writingIn a previous article in the course series, njp media research (id:xjbmyj) and you shared how to select and identify topics before writing news reviews — topics that require attention to the public interest and different perspectives that can bring new perspectives. After determining what to write in a good commentary, it's a layout, the next one。
Let's go on. Today we'll talk about "how to write": arguments, arguments, arguments. These are the three elements of the paper, as well as the bones and flesh of a news review. A good choice and point of view will ultimately have to be more thorough and deep through strong arguments, precise and rich arguments, and logical arguments。
Arguments: clear point, “blood-to-blood”
When you come, you have a clear point of view. It is true that most things in the world are not black or white, with large “grey areas”. In understanding the world, one should also be encouraged to understand in a more inclusive manner the different perspectives of one's own. However, at the time of writing, the opinion must be clear. If even the authors of the articles are divided in their opinions, they have little power in the eyes of the reader and are caught in the awkwardness of “hearing one seat, like one seat”. Visibility is particularly important for controversial events。
In the light of the recent controversial events in the town of purty soup, the old man's burgundy, the “kulle chandi” campaign. Legal defence or “bad suit”? There is still some controversy about professional legal issues such as intellectual property rights. If it's a news story, can you, for example, sue over 200 businesses for rights or money? "wanted to sell meat and meat for $100,000 first" is written in a exploratory position like "right protection" or "put your china"? Such news reports often also present a comprehensive, objective and balanced view of businesses, associations, governments, lawyers, etc。
But that's not true. In the case of the “standing of the bar association” (ninkyo), “don't make profit under the guise of regulating food standards” (the day of light), “spicy soup, meat clamor dispute: don't spoil local food jobs for eating “fat” dues” (half a month), such a sharp article would make it sound and lead to the right values in public opinion. This commentary is focused on its own arguments and provides a clear answer to the controversy in the news: “it is more, i fear, a form of deception and intimidation”
Second, the commentary is written in the service of “blood”. This is a basic writing ability, reflecting the level of awareness and expression of commentators. Some of the articles, though ink around a certain logic, are obfuscated and muffled, constantly twirling around the fundamentals and never reach the very roots. The good idea is highly condensed and refined, always in the phrase。
Gender is a topical and sensitive topic in today's society. Issues relating to the topic of gender are always controversial because of the inability to change positions. As in the previous series of "folco" cases, there was much controversy. The comments made during the half-month discussion, “none of the gender rivalries is behind xx”, highlight the need to be alert to the collective stigmatization of “general labeling” and touch on the nature of the problem that transcends gender rivalry。
Finally, a clear view does not mean that the writing of the commentary must be “bipolar thinking”. We can also refer to statements that do not support our own views. However, such concessions are intended to be more comprehensive and scientific in their presentation, to reflect the holistic nature of the perception and to avoid bias in the articles, which should not lead to confusion and ambiguity. The modest concessions need to be accompanied by a clear understanding of the limits of the opposite view and a more scientific view, with the ultimate aim of increasing the credibility of its own view。
Last month, a “dog ban” issued by a community in zhengzhou, henan, once again triggered a heated debate among netizens about the undesirable dog ban. In fact, it is not easy to convince one another of two categories of people who have completely different attitudes towards dogs. The new kyoto newspaper wrote a review of 90% of owners' consent to community “no dogs” and the need for people's will to be more in line with the law. It also spent a lot of time on the argument that respect for the will of owners and democratic decision-making was reasonable, but went on to say that community “no dogs” requires not only a popular base, but also a legal framework, which clarifies the relationship between law and public opinion, and finally emphasizes the idea that the article “community “no dogs” requires legality.”。
The greater the capacity, the greater the responsibility. Some mainstream media commentary articles, when published, have become “concerts” for other media to establish their positions, or even for the news itself. Official media, such as the daily light, which focuses on the culture of thought, can even make a difference in the direction of a society (we all know the famous commentary published in the daily light, " practice is the sole test of truth " ). Thus, the clearer, “blood-to-blood” perspective, the more demanding it is for the ability and sense of responsibility of commentators。
Arguments: data collection, with precision
Commentaries are written like historical research and need to be indexed and empirical. Commentators are also better equipped with the sense and ability to “search things” and to do “physical work”. Commentators work well in collecting information, either to provide insights or to make good articles that are accurate。
To find arguments that either mobilize existing knowledge or actively collect information. The sources of the arguments are as follows: 1 relevant news; 2 similar cases; 3 already held; 4 expert statements; 5 data; 6 policy; and 7 laws. Like the point of view, arguments should also be innovative and constructive. It's like writing in high school. It's always a trick. At that point, an innovative argument would give rise to a commentary。
In particular, arguments such as laws, policies and expert statements are particularly important when an event involves more complex professional issues. To this end, it is common practice for the media to invite legal experts, policy research experts, as invited authors, to write comments directly. This would allow the articles to contain more professional arguments, which would also be consistent with the goal of commenting on “the words of experts”。
Arguments: there's something in the mind that makes sense
The reasoning of an article reflects the logic of the author's thinking. Common methods of argument are one theory, two contrario, and three examples. Before writing down, it would be useful to take a macroshot of the structure of the article, so as to be able to count and be logical. And if the writing process is inspired by other ideas, it's a lot more。
The general comment writing style is the headline, followed by the argument that the structural ratio follows the “thirty-seven principle” (70 per cent from the first 30 per cent plus core point of view). However, it is not necessary for the commentary to be written in such a way as to be inconvenient. Each type of comment, or even every topic, cannot be structured in such a way that it is impossible to achieve complete uniformity and that articles are never definitive. But a good comment must be very strict and unbelievably strong。
An incident such as that in which a university student learned that the husband of the store had cancer lined up for pancakes was already clear. The new kyoto newspaper also wrote a review of each of the pancakes that these college students have bought in line as a human warmth. Such comments need not necessarily be based on facts before a sub-argument is made, but rather on a prismal formula, which is a matter of tenderness。
The argumentation of views is a manifestation of a person's ability to write and learn. In order to make a difference in the writing of comments, it takes a bit of hard work on the part of commentators: lions and rabbits, too. Just as crops are cultivated, hard-working fertilizers tend to sow grass, crops thrive and farmers harvest. Therefore, commentators have some basic qualities -
Although there are a lot of methodological principles for writing, press reviews are not the subject of tests with standard answers. The deputy editor-in-chief of the new kyoto review said, "in fact, a lot of people don't care about it. It's personal. Now there's too much comment on the market, too much bullshit, too much daddy. Good commentators, learn to say no to these ills.” so..
Next-period advance
In the first two issues, we talked about a review of what to write and how to write. So, where is the high score of a press review? Next, let's talk about the news review “how to write” — about language and commentary, about what an article sees through words。
