Depending on the subject matter, news can be classified into different categories. There are several types of news, including Reports, Articles, Interviews, Publications, and Entertainment. The following is a brief guide to the different types of news. You might be surprised to learn that some of the categories also contain information and entertainment. In addition to the general types of news, some magazines and newspapers also publish special sections that feature a particular subject. Listed below are some of the most common categories of news stories.
Reports
Reports are documents that present information in an organized format for a specific audience or purpose. A report may be in the form of an oral summary, but almost always takes the form of a written document. This article explains the purpose of reports. Let’s look at the types of reports. To help you decide which type of document you should make, here are some examples:
Articles
An article is a written piece published in a print or electronic media that propagates news, research results, an academic analysis, or debate. Articles on news cover current events or a particular topic. It is important to note that the style of an article varies widely. Some news articles are aimed at educating the reader, while others are designed to inform. In the latter category, the author usually uses an opinionated style.
Interviews
It is important to be prepared for interviews in the news. Reporters rarely have the time to read the material before it is published and may use a written quote without editing. Some journalists also use on-the-record interviews, which require no caveats. Off-the-record interviews, on the other hand, are not suitable for publication and should not be used. As the journalist, you should be prepared to answer questions about the interviewer.
Publications
Publications is an international peer-reviewed, open access journal published quarterly online by MDPI. It is indexed in Scopus, ESCI (Web of Science), RePEc, and dblp. Publications allows authors to publish their reviewer’s comments. Rapid Publication is another option available to authors. This process takes just 2.6 days. In addition to addressing ethical issues, Publications is also open to non-members of the scientific community.
Online media
With the increasing use of online media for news, there has been an explosion of content, but it has also been a source of abuse. The prevalence of news abuse is particularly high in South Korea, where journalists often copy articles from other newspapers. This could be explained by the fact that South Korean journalists are used to sharing news and a common agenda. Moreover, they may be influenced by prestige newspapers, so they may use the same news items and content as their own. Nevertheless, news abuse is an issue that must be addressed in order for online journalism to remain a healthy industry.
