The document discusses the key differences between news and narrative. News is based on real events and facts, uses an inverted pyramid structure, and aims to concisely report the most important details of a story in the lead paragraph. In contrast, narrative tells stories through imagination or fiction, can be more detailed, include points of view and descriptions, and follows a chronological order.

difference between news and narrative
This document discusses the key differences between news writing and narrative writing. News writing involves constructing a story around real facts and events, starting with an anecdote and using a "nut graph" to outline the story's focus. The rest of the news story then explains and supports this nut graph. By contrast, narrative writing tells a fictional or real story in a chronological sequence of events from a particular viewpoint, using strong verbs and drawing from the writer's personal experiences.
Difference between narrative and news.
Narrative news pieces tell stories about real events using characters, scenes, and actions to engage the reader. They unfold the story naturally without summarizing, and keep the reader wondering what will happen next. News, on the other hand, aims to quickly and directly convey factual information about recently occurred events from different perspectives to inform readers. While news prioritizes facts, narratives combine facts with fictional elements for entertainment through compelling stories.
News vs narrative
The document compares news and narrative styles of writing. News focuses on directly conveying factual information about recent events using techniques like the inverted pyramid structure. Narratives tell stories with a beginning, middle, and end, engaging the reader by withholding details and including mysteries to compel continued reading. While news must be entirely factual, narratives have more flexibility in crafting stories over a longer period of time.
Feature article
This document defines and describes feature articles. It states that a feature article is a prominent article in a newspaper or magazine that is designed to both entertain and inform readers about an event or aspect of life. It then lists some key characteristics of feature stories, such as being timely, permitting creative writing styles and structures, and focusing on novelty rather than standard news leads. Finally, it provides examples of different types of feature articles, such as historical articles, how-to guides, interviews, and articles on current trends.
Journalism
The document discusses various concepts related to journalism including the definition of news, sources of news, types of reporting, and techniques for writing news stories. It defines news as selected information from events aimed at disseminating to audiences. The primary sources of news are those directly involved in events while secondary sources help provide context. Different types of reporting include objective, investigative, and interpretative approaches. Effective news writing follows techniques like using an inverted pyramid structure, writing concise leads and headlines, and attributing information to sources.
Feature article by Janet D. Camerino
A feature article is a creative, subjective piece designed to both entertain and inform readers on an event, situation, or aspect of life. It falls between straight news and fiction, using facts from research and interviews to instruct and entertain those familiar and unfamiliar with the topic. Feature stories are factual, may or may not be timely, and allow novelty leads and fiction writing techniques. They bring readers close to an experience through imaginative writing applied to real facts and events. Common types of features include interviews, personal experiences, human interest, trends, histories, backgrounds, travel, and specialized topics like science or food.
News basics
News is difficult to define as it has many variables. News must be factual but not all facts are news, and it may include opinions of authorities. There are two main types of news: hard news which is important and timely, often about government or politics, and soft news which entertains and appeals more to emotions. For a story to be considered news, it must be factual, interesting to readers, and recent. Reporters aim for objectivity and balance by including all significant details.

They provide colorful details and background information to give readers a deeper understanding of the topic. Feature stories are longer than typical news articles and use narrative techniques to engage readers. They cover a variety of subjects and can be found in various media formats.
The structure of a news story
The document discusses different structures for news stories, including the inverted pyramid, narrative, and hourglass structures. The inverted pyramid is the most popular as it places the most important information at the beginning. However, narrative and hourglass structures allow for more character and story development. Regardless of structure, news stories should focus the information around the key details in the lead paragraph.
News agencies
The document describes several major international and national news agencies from around the world, including their founding dates, locations, ownership structures and brief descriptions of their operations. Some of the news agencies mentioned include Reuters, Associated Press, Xinhua News Agency, Anadolu Agency, TASS Russian News Agency, Press Trust of India and WAM News Agency of the United Arab Emirates.
Behavioural and human relation management theories
The document discusses three major theories of behavioral and human relations management:
1. Hugo Munstenberg's theory proposed that industrial psychology could benefit industry in hiring the right people, achieving efficiency, and directing employee behavior.
2. Douglas McGregor's Theory X and Theory Y describe how people view worker motivation - Theory X sees workers as unmotivated while Theory Y sees them as willing if given responsibility.
3. Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs proposes that people are motivated to fulfill certain needs in a pyramid structure starting with physiological needs, then safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs. Once a need is met, the next level motivates individuals.
Theories of management
There are three types of management theories: historical, classical, and modern. The classical theories include scientific management theory, developed by Frederick Taylor to decrease waste and increase production efficiency. It introduced differential piece rate wages. Administrative management theory focuses on standardizing processes and dividing organizations into hierarchies under Max Weber's bureaucratic theory of management. Henri Fayol's administrative theory formalized administrative structure and clear divisions of labor according to responsibilities.
What are news values
This document discusses news values, which are guidelines used to determine what makes a news story worthy of being published or reported. It identifies nine main news values: timeliness, proximity, impact, controversy, magnitude, prominence, currency, oddity/novelty. Each value is then defined and an example is provided to illustrate how it determines the newsworthiness of a story. Timeliness refers to recency, proximity refers to local relevance, and impact, controversy, magnitude, and prominence refer to the number of people affected or interested in a story. Currency tracks issues that remain topics of public interest, while oddity/novelty means unusual or unique stories. These values help journalists decide what is essential, important information to report on

Organizations like ANERA have worked since 1968 to help refugees in Lebanon cope with the hardships of displacement.
Why media industry is unique
Media is an umbrella term that encompasses print, broadcast, out-of-home and interactive forms of communication. It serves as a platform to generate ideas about surroundings, a source of information to provide knowledge at different levels, and has the potential to shape personalities and understanding of the world through cultural promotion, mobilizing people for common causes, and establishing thoughts in consumers. Media is also an influential tool for shaping individual perceptions by reducing boundaries between societies to create globalization while raising awareness of life's realities and social values.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
