Features: Narrative news must be charming and stimulating to strengthen writing research. Writing narrative news is a complex information engineering. Summarizing the entire writing process, the main focus is on two aspects: what to write and how to write. What to write? This primarily involves selecting topics. The subject matter of narrative news comes from real life. To choose good subject matter, the author must first obtain the material, which relies on interviews. Interviews are a specialized discipline in journalism, with complete and systematic theories and methods, and many monographs have discussed and summarized them. Based on the writing purpose of this monograph, we will only discuss how to select topics based on the author's interviews. This writing process of narrative news is a process where objective subject matter fuses with the author's mind and transforms into an information carrier. In this transformation, the author is key. If the transformation is successful, it first depends on the author's interview foundation and profound thinking. However, another important factor cannot be ignored, which is the series of techniques applied throughout the transformation process.
