PUBLICIDAD

A piece of news is information about a fact or a set of facts that, within a community, society or specific field, is relevant, novel or unusual. The word, as such, comes from the Latin notitia.

In this sense, a story is the story, the construction and the elaboration of a fact, event or event that is considered important or pertinent to disseminate for public knowledge.

The news is the stories of the most important events or events in a day or a week. It is what fills the pages of newspapers or newspapers, news web portals or radio and television news programs.

To prepare a news item, we start with a formula of six questions, which are:

What happened?
Who happened to him?
As a step?
When I pass?
Where did it happen?
Why or what happened?
In the news, the information must be ordered in descending order according to the importance of the referred. Thus, the scheme of the inverted pyramid is managed, according to which the most important data are at the beginning and the least significant are towards the end.

The news can refer to the most diverse areas and events: politics, economy, society, wars, crimes, events, tragedies, protests, etc., are some of the common themes, but so are sports, science, technology or the show.

In a story, there must be as much objectivity and truth as possible in the way in which a news event is related, for this, the journalist must be attached to his code of professional ethics.
