Request: Does anyone know what are the main tests for the written examination at the newspaper office? (seeking accuracy)

I just joined a newspaper office.

There were no theoretical questions in my exam, but there were in the previous batch, but they were all very basic, such as the five Ws, news authenticity, news value judgment, and the necessary qualities of journalists. As long as you come from a major, it should be easy to answer these questions.

My questions in this batch are all open questions. The first question is to rewrite an article of more than 1,000 words into a Weibo of 140 words, which is an abbreviation. The second question gives you a press release of three to four hundred words and asks you to write comments based on this manuscript. The third question is about your views on online trolls and online violence.

In fact, no matter which newspaper office pays too much attention to theory, because it is of little use in actual operation, as long as you master the basic knowledge is enough. Writing reviews, writing newsletters, and coming up with headlines for news are common and the most important tasks. Especially writing comments is an examination of the comprehensive quality of a journalist. This also requires more accumulation on a daily basis.

My score in the exam was first. I think it is not how good my writing is. The most important thing is my familiarity with hot news. This is also what the examiner will focus on during the newspaper interview. Usually read more news, especially hot social events, and then browse the comments written by some well-known commentators, which will definitely benefit a lot.
