新闻:是新近发生的事实的报道(陆定一)。 这说明,新闻必须以事实为依据,钉是钉,铆是铆,对事实既不能夸大,也不能减小,否则与新闻是相悖相克的。 那么,在新闻写作中能不能运用夸张手法呢? 这,也是当前新闻工作者在探讨新闻写作技巧中,最有争议的话题。 但,事实胜于雄辨。1949年2月,毛泽东同志为新华社撰写的新闻《我三十万大军胜利南渡长江》,就有过这样的描写—— News: A Report of a Recent Fact (Lu Dingyi). This shows that news must be based on facts. Studying is a nail. Riveting is riveting. It can neither exaggerate nor reduce the facts, or it is incompatible with the news. So, can we use exaggeration in the news writing? This is also the most controversial topic among journalists in exploring the writing skills of journalism. But, facts speak louder than words. In February 1949, Comrade Mao Zedong wrote the news for Xinhua News Agency, “I am the winner of three hundred thousand troops navigating the Yangtze River.”
