1.1. JUSTIFICACIÓN E IMPORTANCIA.
The difficulty that is normally associated with the distinction between types of news is not strange to many. This is simply because all the noticeable types of news share certain common characteristics that do not permit any clear direction. Nevertheless, the differences are most obvious in the scope and the nature of treatment or effort expended on event of such importance. In broad terms; there are three major types of news reports namely:
The straight forward news Investigative news reports Interpretative news reports
3.4.1 Straightforward News Reports
These are the products of the conventional answer to five Ws and H. It is normally short and sometimes lengthy in content but generally; it constitutes the bulk of news types that form the content of most commercial newspapers. In this kind of report, reporters are not expected to inject their opinions. Rather, they are only expected to answer the basic questions of 5 Ws and Has objectively and straightforward as possible.
Straightforward news story may be based on hard, soft / human-interest events. Hard news are stories that deal with topical issues that are tied to governmental affairs concerning economic, social and political issues.

coronation, birthdays, marriages etc. While the Human interest arouse emotional feeling all though mostly generated from conflict, controversy, crime, disasters, accidents, adventure, children etc.
3.4.2 Investigative News Reports
An investigative report is a better quality reporting that is distinct from the straightforward news type. Its degree of thoroughness is greater than that of straight news report. It normally deals with reports on serious subjects and normally, involves obstacles that are common on the straight news type. Generally, it is distinguishable from the straight news because:

It calls for handwork It cost much money
It demands more patience; persistence yet, may be frustrating.
It is also risky
Like the straightforward news type, an investigative reporter is not expected to editorialise or inject or interpret fact in the story. These facts are not to be twisted or fabricated but must be based on information dug from many sources. The investigative report is usually long and written to expose and explain Issues in details. In order that the much-needed details are accurately sourced for, the investigative reporter relies heavily on such techniques as:
(a) Direct observation of an event in order to get first hand experience, without the intrusion of other peoples (eye witness perceptions or biases. i.e. being a participant observer or being part of an action maybe robbery, gangster operation, and cult etc) in order to know what goes on.
(b) Searching for primary and secondary documents from record keepers or institutions. The investigative reporter must have a solid documentary base on local/ international records of interest, official and unofficial.
(c) Reliance on unsolicited information from informants, government and other publicity seeking interest groups.
(d) Interviewing people to get information. Interview is the bedrock of newsgathering business. Success in this exercise also depends on the investigative reporter’s adherences to the basics of investigative interviewing, which are:
- Preparation - Control - Information.
Preparation: This involves a reporter’s knowledge of the background of the subject matter or topic, the people involved in the interview or story: the list of questions, sorting of and arrangement of facts and opinion in order to extract or separate the neutral information from the factual one in a controversial issue.
Control: This includes all forms of courteousness in the mastery and handling of an interview. It calls for a direction of purpose and a sense of responsibility that does not reveal the ill preparedness of the reporter or his lack of knowledge of the subject matter.
Information: This involves all the amount of attention a reporter can give the interviewee to elicit facts about the subject matter. It demands a sound and careful listening skill and attitude.
3.4.3 Interpretative Reporting
In the report of events, most reporters are often confronted with the urge of analyzing the implications of several issues in an event. This is the thrust of interpretative reporting. It is a kind of news report that demands the reporter’s injection of his opinion, or some form of editorialization or comments on the issue reported. Like the investigative report, the interpretative reporter requires additional facts for easy clarification, detailed explanation and logical analysis. An interpretative reporter also has a wide variety of approaches, which he may use to give his story an interpretative slant. These include:
(a)
Side-bar short: supplements or pieces of information that highlight the main feature of an issue. It can be blocked or boxed at the side or the newspaper or magazine.(b)
An interpretative article developed from the views comments or opinions of experts.(c)
Historical background of the event that provide a kind of go between the present and the past.(d)
Speculative or predictive analysis of the event by the reporter.Although it can be dangerous in intent and result. It is normally unreliable as the future is usually not understood firmly by anyone.
