Technical objective and subjective technique

Technical

subjective and objective technique.

start from a piece of an old article to explain.

I just fourteen. My name is Karl. I'm reading a novel that my father, in the few moments when you are thinning the fumes of alcohol, I got: "The enlightened .

And it is the protagonist of this novel, Hagbard Celine, a sort of mix between James Bond and a super scientist, to become my hero.

whole story begins to get complicated when their parents died a few years away from each other and, with the inheritance, I bought a PC and an Internet connection.

Then there's another song.

Here are the 13 in Baghdad continue to fall from the sky and mortar fire. We look beyond the dust cloud that surrounded the hotel in which they reside.

Of the two songs written with the technical objective is the second. The writer declares who is (a journalist who is in a war scenario to make information) says where it is and why it's there. In short, the song is written to put a player on the other hand, the journalist. The scene is narrated as if we saw outside retaining our point of view.

In the first song writer seeks the empathy of the reader in the story told. You will enter the history and character by adopting the point of view.

What technique depends on the intentions to follow. If you want to involve the reader the best technique is subjective. But it is easy to abuse. In 99% of cases, the technique to use is subjective.

Stomach Bug Going Around

The article and the reader

This post begins with a discussion he had in writing with a couple of friends. I raised the issue of clarity of an article for the public that reads it. The comment is that I was given an article, it is well written always clear. I disagree with this statement because cos' saying does not take into account that there are two cornerstones of an article the journalist and the reader. Or rather, the vision of the journalist who gives the news and the vision that has the reader. By that I mean that when you write if you want the message to go light, you must know to whom you write. There is no record of ever writing. An article about a scientific discovery can be made with a number of technical terms and specific references to where it is intended for an audience of industry insiders, however, or those who have specific technical skills. The same article in a newspaper must be able to explain the news to an audience heterogeneous, trying to be as clear as possible and using as little as possible the technical terms that can be unlocked only for those employees.

short, the way a journalist from the news can not be influenced by the knowledge that his readers.

The 5 W

From Anglo-Saxon journalism can borrow the rule of 5 W:

* Who: Who
* What: * Where
what: where
* When: * When
Why, why

The diagram shows the 5 elements that must be present in a full article to make the information given to the readers. Obviously this is not a pattern to be followed strictly in order. We say that the important thing is that a piece in the first 10 overs lines, mixed with other indications, the 5 elements.
