Features: News commentary is a rational, thoughtful, and knowledgeable argumentative form in which the communicator directly expresses their views on recent news facts, issues, or phenomena using mass communication tools or media. News commentary takes different forms in newspapers, radio, television, and the internet—whether in text, audio, audio-visual integration, or illustrated with graphics—and plays a significant role in news dissemination. Based on learning from and drawing inspiration from existing works on news commentary, this book proposes a new framework for news commentary literature, discussing five aspects: the forms of news commentary, the thinking behind news commentary, the writing of news commentary, the planning of news commentary, and the teams behind news commentary. It is highly contemporary and innovative. This book is suitable for university students and faculty in journalism and communication, as well as professionals in the news media industry.
