There is no news at the grassroots level?The way you find is wrong!

The following article comes from Huawen Rong Media Cloud, author Liu Guochang

There is no news to write a headache? Recently, a short article written by a grass -roots media person summarizes the "five grabs" of grassroots news:

The first is to grasp the very time and focus of work in the "normal";

The second is to grasp the "very state" in "normal";

The third is to take very good measures under the situation;

The fourth is to grasp the invisible achievements I have done in the normal work;

Fifth, grasp the "unusual people" and "unusual things" of ordinary people.

Liu Guochang, a senior editor of the People's Daily and the former deputy editor -in -chief of the People's Daily Overseas Edition, analyzed this and is now shared with you.

1. "Five Grab" is a specific interpretation of the news

The "five grasping" proposed by the author mainly focuses on how to find news in normal work.

Finding news in normal work is a problem that grass -roots media people have encountered almost every day. Finding news, grass -roots media are definitely not as good as big media, but it is not no news to find and no news. As long as you pay more attention and observe, you can constantly discover and write news when you are good at "five grasping".

For example, one of the "Five Grasp" "‘ unusual people ’and‘ uneven things ’in the common people”, this is a path to discover the news. Among the grass -roots people, there are many people who seem to be "unusual". In this epidemic, some families with four families have joined the ranks of volunteers; some community workers provide detailed and thoughtful services to residents of the seal -controlled area; It is the clue and material of the news. As long as reporters and correspondents go deep in, they will definitely gain a lot of gains.

Where is the rich mine? At the grassroots level. However, some reporters and correspondents always complain that "no news can be written." In fact, it is not "no news to write", but the lack of the eyes of the news and the lack of "five -catch" specific actions.

How to do it? Also rely on reporters to explore and practice themselves. The "five grasping" explored by the grass -roots media people is a feasible way, which is worth learning.

2. The ability to "find news" can be practiced

I wrote in the article "News and writing, please keep in mind the" Four No "concept": There are basically two categories of news, one is "clear news", and the other is "news that needs to be discovered." Where is this latter category? At the grassroots level. There are a large number of unlimited news hidden at the grassroots level, and reporters have to discover and dig.

"Plasbings" can be said to be "news from the door". For example, leaders at all levels hold press conferences, seminars, forums and emergencies. The reporter received a notice directly to the meeting to write a report. However, a large number of news is "news that needs to be discovered", which requires reporters to sink to find news and write news in the actual work and life.

Some reporters and correspondents are familiar with the light car of "Placing News", and they write quickly. But let him go to the news by himself, but he can't do it. Why? One of the reasons is that he has not found the way and method of finding news.

The 15th reporters who worked at the branch of the people's daily in 2021 recently wrote an article to talk about their experiences. Among them, the deepest one is "learning how to find news." They said that the journalism of learning in school is important, but the real learning is still in practice. These young reporters generally take the task when they go out. There are materials and clues, but even so, the reporter needs to "find the news point" by themselves, and write the manuscript vividly and new.

I often encounter this situation: a lot of materials, a few words of conversation, can't go down, interviews fall into an embarrassing state. How to do? At this time, it depends on the reporter's ability. How to "dig" from the materials? How to "find value points" during the interview? Reporters should think about these issues repeatedly and find ways to solve these problems.

Hard work pays off. After several training, these young journalists have the ability to "find news" and have practiced a set of strategies of "digging news".

3. Find news, there is a regular way to follow

Finding news is a long -term task of media people. To this end, we must establish the determination to "find" and practice the ability to "find".

As far as each reporter is concerned, each person has every way. But from a macro perspective, there is a regular way to follow.

1. Overcoming the thoughts of "waiting, dependence, and requesting", and find news on your own. This concept is very important. With this concept, you have the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of looking for news. Even if you encounter difficulties and setbacks, you will find a way to overcome it yourself.

2. Diligence to find a way to find news. Zhang Mengyi's own "five grasses" will help find valuable news in practice. As a media person, he must also summarize many methods and skills of how to find news. Many old journalists of the People's Daily have accumulated a lot of experience in this regard. They are good at turning "strangers" into "old friends"; they are good at turning "not love" into "active speaking", and they have gained a lot of writing. Live materials. Don't think how difficult it is to find news. As long as you usually think more and think more about ways, you can always make you as expected.

3. Pay attention to accumulating news clues. Some news is not in a hurry, but the necessary clues must pay attention to accumulation. These clues include things, storylines, flash languages, etc. When the time is ripe, these clues can come in handy to help you complete the task quickly.

It is not easy for reporters to write news, but it is more difficult to find news.But it is also a must -have.Only after this pass can we constantly write news of grounding and steaming.Keep struggling, media people!What are you looking for news?
