General speaking, news is anything that's new. News I arepr of an event that nae jut taken place, News ie a detaled account that provies infrmaton escripion. ™\ "coud eo incude epicton”(epreerttn),ceineaton (desarpion), statement (ernouncemert, decaraton), end nawaton of a developer, event or occurrence (neers, happenings). The events usualy ‘recent, rsh not known eater. New ie something that at @ pacar moment According to George Hough ofthe Univery of Geigia, U.S.A News is bh Product and point of va. At a product, ewe ta gutereé, processed and 13 packaged. Newspapers, news services, news magazines, ras, television and Cable station and networks then present news to their respective audiences. ‘A former managing editor of the New York Times, Turner Cateledge described news as “Anything you can find out today that you an know before." In modern times, newspersons and media personalties are likely to define news in 3s of what people, readers, steners, viewers want o know. These definitions can be summed up as: ‘News is anything that's tmely and significant to aucence in respect of their personal affairs or their relation to sociely and the best news is that which possesses the greatest degree of tis interest and significance for the greatest number.” Definition of News for racio depends on ‘The size of listeners The periodicity of Broadcast (Usually AIR broadcasts news hourly) + The social character and economic base ofthe listeners ‘The focus of attention or emphasis ofthe listeners, Hence, the News is + Perishable (Which news is new atthe moment but next moment it wil old) + Is ofinterest 1 a large numberof people; Of unusual events and happenings; What is nev othe public: and ‘+ An event put forward by a reporter, as wthout a reporter, a news tem does Qualities of News, There ate some basic qualties of the naws. These are accuracy, balance, objectivity, and clarty + Accuracy: Accuracy is basic to any news tem. When you fallin accuracy, you lose credtily. Hence it is important to crass check your facts and information, Check tgures, names and facts. Check haw names ae spelt Did you get your fst name corect? People are generally offended by ‘wrongly spelt names. Ifyou ae paraphrasing 2 speech {rom a text given to ‘you, make sure you do not change the meaning or quote statements out of Context. Rumours and speculation need to be avoided at all costs. Sensizaton of news must be avoided. + Balance: To be balanced in reporing is as important 2s being accurate. if you are witing about a controversy. give both sides of the story. When repoting @ strike, for instance, give the caim of authorities and also that of ‘the workers on how farts successful A story may appear tobe imbalanced ‘and thus biased, i thas too much of Governments views, of tends 1 ave, 120 much foreign news which has litle relevance to your listeners + Objectivity: You should not mix your opinion inthe story. Report only facts ‘and other people's opinions. You should be a disinterested observer, 14 reporting events without taking sides. News must be presented objectively in an unbiased manner and it should nat be aed to any sesh interest. + Clarity: A story must be best in the way it expresses the theme. Your introductory sentence should be short and in active voice tothe maximum ‘extent possible. The ideal length of each paragraph may be 3-4 lines containing two-three small sentences to facilitate easy comprehension, © Conciseness: A news slory must be concise. It should not be unnecessariy lengthy. Where unnecessary details are to be avoided, unnecessary wording must also be pruned out. Verbosity always kills the purpose and ths is brevity that is unanimously agreed upon to be the soul of inteligence. Wordy expressions and unnecessary repetition must be avoided, One-word substitution saves the the space and time, both + Comprehensiveness: it means that complete by all regards and aspects. ‘Arnews item is considered comprehensive only when it answers the every possible question that may arise in the minds of listeners. As a general principal to make a news story comprehensive and complete five Ws and ‘one H (what, when, where, why, who and How) are to be satisfied + Cohesiveness: When we talk of an order, akind of symmetry, a welHknit, well-planned, well organized and even end-product, is actually talked of cohesiveness, it means that the order of the details to be put in a news items must be in proper order. Symmetry suggests beauty and it must be sel-evident in the construction of the news story, Asymmetry mars the beauty and the listener does not go on with the bulletin smoothly and ‘comfortably. It must not be jumpy and uneven, ‘+ Interesting: The news story, especially to be broadcast on radio, must be presented in such @ way thatthe listener may not get bored. Its quite a dificult task to be managed when it comes to writing and presenting news bulletin since news is something that can never drit away from the principals of accuracy and objectivity. What we actually mean by making news bulletin interesting is the reading effect inthe tone and style must be avoided by the newscaster and spoken language is to be employed which \wrting the lines of any news item. News Values and Elements of News New values differ from community to community, country to country. While reporting such events, you should be careful not to appear to be insulting or laughable in tone ot in content, Similarly, news values are different for developing and developed countries. For the industrialized and individualized societies of ‘developed countries, communally provocative speeches and incidents may be reported word for word, blow by blow. But the same treatment would be suicidal and would be lighting @ powder keg in a communally sensitive, ilaerate, developing ‘country. You should take all possible can in reporting such developments keeping in mind the volatle nature of the audience and the reach of your audience. ‘The folowing are those factors that can aptly be called news values: Conic: Cott means 2 king of lah, quate, deagreemant, dacard bart between persons, goups, socties or counes.
