Based on his rich experience in news writing, Teacher Wang Yujun explained the key points of news gathering and editing work to the participating teachers and students in simple and detailed terms with the title "How to do a good job in news gathering and editing - How I write and edit articles".
Teacher Wang Yujun first emphasized the importance of writing. He mentioned that cultural self-confidence must be strengthened, and excellent Chinese writing skills will help the inheritance and development of excellent traditional culture. He introduced the main categories of press releases to the teachers and students present. According to the differences in writing purposes, writing objects and writing techniques, press releases were divided into five categories: news flashes, news newsletters, news reviews, news features, and news interviews. He also explained the characteristics of various press releases with vivid cases to help reporters clarify the diverse forms of press releases. Talking about the three links of press release writing, teacher Wang Yujun focused on sorting out the common mistakes and risk avoidance issues in the post-arrangement process of manuscripts. He listed some common mistakes in press releases and emphasized that journalists must carefully consider every word. "Details determine success or failure."
Teacher Wang Yujun then gave an in-depth explanation of the preparation work before writing, including the three steps of collecting materials, drafting an interview outline, and conducting interviews. When it comes to collecting information, he vividly explained the importance and methods of collecting information based on his work experience in conducting research reports at the Chinese Embassy in Liberia. In terms of drafting an interview outline, he showed a sample interview outline and emphasized the role of a fully prepared interview outline in subsequent smooth interviews and high-quality manuscript writing. Regarding on-site interviews, he emphasized the need to be good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of the interviewees and digging into the highlights.
In the process of writing the manuscript, Teacher Wang Yujun focused on the following aspects. Regarding titles, he believes that "a good title is half the battle" and described his journey of coming up with a good title when writing an interview. Regarding article writing, he pointed out the application of "combination of reality and reality" in press releases, and creatively compared the "reality" of mountains, rivers and trees in calligraphy and painting works with the "reality" of clouds and mist in writing, encouraging reporters to use imagination and literature to add color to press releases.
At the end of the lecture, the teachers and students actively asked questions and had a lively interaction with Teacher Wang Yujun. Teacher Wang Yujun answered questions based on his own experience, which benefited the teachers and students present a lot. Teacher Wang Yujun integrated literature and art, theory and practice, and inspired the enthusiasm of news writing among teachers and students present.
