"My review writing can be said to be my life, and over the years, review writing has become a part of my life, and the writing process is the process of life unfolding. I love this business. On the afternoon of December 26, the "Practical Tutorial of News Commentary" written by Mi Bohua, dean of the School of Journalism of Fudan University and former deputy editor-in-chief of People's Daily, appeared in the "National New Book Release Hall" of Xinhua Bookstore Sun MoonLight Store.
Mi Bohua has been engaged in news commentary for nearly 30 years, won the first prize and special prize of the China Journalism Award five times, and is the winner of the 5th Fan Changjiang Journalism Award. Based on its rich professional practical experience, the "Practical Course of News Commentary" has made a systematic theoretical sorting out of news commentary, which not only clarifies the basic concept of news commentary, but also covers important links in the review business, and combines exemplary works to present the laws and techniques of review writing from multiple angles with the vision and position of party newspaper commentators.
News commentary is a complex and arduous ideological labor, "News Commentary Practical Course" from the four dimensions of commentary elements, stylistic types, basic training, professional accomplishment, summarized the eight key elements of review writing: from the basic requirements, the position is the fundamental, the commentator is the protagonist, the opinion is the key, thinking is the foundation; from the perspective of the writing link, including the topic selection link, the structure link, the expression link and the revision link. The eight elements are the dialectical relationship between Tao and skill, which is not only the basic literacy that commentators should have, but also the fundamental principle of review writing.
News commentary is also the most political form of writing. The book proposes that "changing from time to time is the most important quality of political commentators" and that "commentary work is political work." Journalists engaged in commentary work "must have a relatively deep understanding of political theory, while maintaining a high degree of political sensitivity to social life", no matter how the times change, the hard core of news commentary is the recognition of social phenomena and accurate and distinct and appropriate expression.
In 2017, he was hired as the dean of the School of Journalism of Fudan University, transforming from a news practitioner to a news educator, mi Bohua found in his teaching that news review textbooks have more theory and less practice, and deeply feel the necessity of writing a practical course on news criticism. "Practical Course of News Commentary" adopts a narrative structure of one case per section, explains a method thoroughly, or expounds a truth, cuts in from a small angle, and is not limited to the case itself, discusses the problem, highlights the practical, and is both a methodology and a practical manual. The book not only has the skills of review writing, but also the method of rational expression of logical thinking, which helps to inspire critical thinking, cultivate correct, fair and rational criticism literacy, and has reference value for news review practitioners, teachers and students of media colleges and universities, and review enthusiasts.
Mi Bohua has worked as deputy editor-in-chief of People's Daily for more than ten years, experiencing important historical events from the 1990s to the 21st century, and witnessing the progress of the times and social progress in the form of commentary. At the end of the book, a photocopy of the revised version of the People's Daily commentary presented in the form of a pull page is of great historical value.
In the new media environment, everyone can become a commentator, and how to think, how to express, and how to comment has become a compulsory course. "It's a professional book that also permeates a personal experience of life." In Mi Bohua's view, the comments that can make readers like and convince must have subtle empathy, "but whenever I write about palpitations, heartbeat and even tears, the reader will also be moved." Comments are not inciting emotions, especially comments that enter the field of social public writing and assume social responsibility, first of all, the reason must be clearly explained and explained, and then the literary style and charm.
"Solid is the most valuable thing - journalism can't hide it, it can't deceive people." The article reflects a person's ideological and theoretical level and ability to control words, records the learning process, and examines the work attitude. Practical and reliable - doing journalism work, the richer the thoughts, the more responsive the better, but the work itself is the more simple, the more attentive the better. Honesty is the most precious - no matter how the times change, tell the truth, do honest things, be honest people..." These are the three "realities" that journalists should have in Mi Bohua's eyes.
