What Are The Similarities And The Differences Between Articles From Newspaper And Official Website
Answers
Answer:
Article is a write up on a subject, and gives information about it in an organized manner. Often the article analyses different aspect or issues involved.
News has two senses. News itself is what occurs, what takes place. You are perhaps referring to ‘a piece of news’ which is a write up on an event that has just taken place. News is much more current than article, and need not give all aspects or analysis of the subject; it is the essence of what has taken place.
In writing style too, there is much difference. An article starts with an intro, then arguments and then the conclusion or the writer’s opinion. News starts with the most important element of the event (In accident-How many died/ were injured? In fraud- Who were involved and who were cheated? In sports- Who won/ lost and what was the flashpoint?) and then narrates other details.
1. Well, the most basic difference is that an article encompasses a whole range of publishing material like News, Academic/Research Paper, Blog, Opinions, Editorials, Podcasts (Spoken Article) etc. Whereas, News is a form of communicating information about real events through media such as Internet, TV, Radio, Print, word-of-mouth etc.
2. An article is an organized way of telling the information which includes a headline, name of the writer/speaker, introduction, body, summary, conclusion etc. Whereas a news item can just be in the form of a headline which becomes an article when elaborated in detail.
3. An article can be an opinion of author but news cannot be an opinion of news writer unless he/she is writing an article or editorial. A news item must contain just facts.
I can think of above 3 at the moment but i am guessing they are more than enough to understand the difference :)
