With one copy of news in hand, you can survey the long river of history. This book covers nine “ologies,” encompassing all aspects, including various examples for on-the-spot observation. It’s a New Concept Journalism that you can learn and apply immediately.
For a long time, the genre of news has been a subjective battleground. This book introduces two concepts: “Basic Genres” and “Marginal Genres,” comparing the three basic genres (telegraphic news, letter news, and commentary news) to the three primary colors of life. The other “rainbow of colors” in various genres are all derived from the combination and evolution of these “primary colors,” opening up a new line of thinking.
The book proposes many new concepts, some of which still need further refinement and standardization. However, the author’s spirit of exploration and innovation is commendable. The introduction of these new concepts in the book is not accidental. It is the crystallization of the author’s 30 years of rich experience in news reporting and editing, combined with a deep theoretical foundation.
The book has academic depth but is written in an accessible manner, which itself is an innovative expression. It is one of the book’s key features. Journalism originates from the masses and serves the masses—it should return to the masses. A journalism that returns to the masses has more vitality, reach, and influence.
