1. In addition to looking for news through common news sources and regular news classifications, those who work as online editors must not think that they are editors. The definition of editor is as simple as copying and pasting pseudo-originals. You must always be yourself. Can write news. Although there is too much news nowadays, the saying “content is king” is still very useful. Therefore, as an online editor, you need to use your own initiative to create and write news. In the Internet industry, if you simply understand a web editor as an editor, you will not become an excellent web editor. One of the most important qualities of a good web editor is that of a journalist (having the characteristics of a journalist).
2. Writing news is a difficult life. Where is the news? What kind of subject matter is suitable for writing news, and what kind of subject matter can be written for commentary? It all depends on your own judgment.
3. Where is the news? There will be many sources of news. I believe that most online editors are not the ones who manage all channels. They all have industry restrictions. Since it is an inherent industry or category, the optional premise is that you have to work hard to discover news in this category. To discover news, you need to run more, watch more, listen more, pay more attention, and collect materials consciously. There may be some editors who don’t go out all year round and are not allowed to go out, so talk to more people in this industry and category. A phenomenon may not be news according to one person, but it may be news worth writing about if 10 people say it.
4. What kind of subject matter is suitable for writing news, and what kind of subject matter can be written as commentary? Let’s assume: China Jewelry Festival (Jewelry Exhibition) opens. Then the text and pictures of the opening of the China Jewelry Festival released that day are (primary) news. When the online editor was writing for the China Jewelry Festival, he found through interviews that the China Jewelry Festival was very poorly run and the exhibitors were very dissatisfied. He could write another article. In this news report, he should be truthful and list the interviewees. The original words of the manufacturers interviewed were restored for the hearing of the China Jewelry Festival Organizing Committee. This is also news. However, after this news is written, as a dedicated online editor, you can still continue to dig deeper and use a large number of interviews and surveys (such as online voting and questionnaire methods) to understand why there are such and such problems in this China Jewelry Festival. Today's similar How do exhibitions work and what are their advantages? This could totally be a review.
5. The news itself is just an event report and does not mean much, but objective and in-depth comments are often better than the news itself. Therefore, as an online editor, you must have an operational concept for doing in-depth news.
6. Sometimes news can also be planned. Of course, the news planning I am talking about is not news hype, but a script written based on a large number of investigations. For example, a topic I thought of yesterday: Where in Yiwu do people like running red lights the most? If he is the editor of a local news comprehensive website in Yiwu, he can go to the traffic police through a certain channel to check the villages and towns where the car owners who have run the most red lights in the past six months are located, and then compile a news article in the form of a chart. Coupled with the cooperation of local media, I believe this news will become popular. For another example, in the unofficial world, there are various investigations every day, and news can also be written through investigations. Of course, this depends on the information operation ideas of the editor and the community operator.
7. No matter what website editor. You must remember that your news must be in-depth and have a point of view (this point of view is in line with the positioning of your website), and you must have the first say on some matters. Don’t wait until someone else does it before you do it, it’s not fun anymore! (Text/Tsui)
