There are many different types of news – broadcast, print, online, and social. Each type has different goals and values. In this article, we look at some of the most common types of news. We will examine their Objectivity, Fairness, Magnitude, and Shareability. We’ll also discuss how to decide which sources to trust.
Objectivity
Objectivity in news has a double-edged sword. It can protect a journalist from certain risks, but it can also be used to discredit a story. Journalists, however, should be aware of the problems that accompany traditional uses of objectivity and do their best to avoid them.
Fairness
Fairness in news is a key element of accurate reporting. In order for news to be considered fair, journalists need to make sure their opinions are backed by factual information. They also need to make sure they are not giving equal time to one side of an issue over another. An example of this would be a “he says, she says” story.
Shareability
The Shareability of news is a measure of how widely readers are able to spread a particular piece of news online. Researchers have examined news stories published on six news sites in the Netherlands and determined what factors influence shareability. They also found that news stories published in different countries are shared differently than those published in the same country. News stories can go viral by using a variety of different sharing methods.
Magnitude
Magnitude of news is a quantitative measure of the impact of news on financial markets. It is based on the impact of different types of information, such as economic news and central bank announcements. For example, news about the economy can have a higher impact on stocks than news about central banks, and central bank announcements have a lower impact on stocks. Hence, it is important to understand the impact of various types of news to financial markets.
Relevance
There are several factors that determine the relevance of news. One factor is novelty. People tend to engage more with news that is relevant to them.
Exclusivity
One of the biggest issues facing newsrooms and publishers today is exclusivity in news. Exclusives are extremely lucrative, but they also come with risks. In order to earn an exclusive, a story must be compelling enough to make it worth the risks. If it’s not, other outlets will have a hard time publishing it. Fortunately, there are several strategies newsrooms can use to increase the likelihood of an exclusive.
