News item
adalah salah satu jenis "text" yang bisa mengantarkan kita menjadi
seorang jurnalis handal. Dengan mempelajari teks ini, kita setidaknya
sudah berlatih untuk bisa menulis layaknya seorang penulis berita
profesional. Oleh karena itu, jangan malas jika guru sobat menyuruh
mengerjakan tugas membuat teks berita berbahasa Inggris, oke? Ya mungkin
saja kelak sobat bisa menjadi jurnalis kelas kakap :)
Namun, jika sobat belum
sepenuhnya memahami
news item
text ini, sobat tak usah bersedih hati; semoga dengan membaca tulisan
ini sobat bisa lebih pintar dari bapak / guru sobat dalam menulis news
item text :)
News
item is a text which informs readers about events of the day. The
events are considered newsworthy or important. (News item adalah teks
yang memberikan informasi tentang kejadian / peristiwa harian. Peristiwa
harian ini dianggap pantas dijadikan berita atau [bisa dibilang]
penting)
Artinya,
jika ada suatu peristiwa penting yang patut diketahui oleh banyak
orang, maka peristiwa ini pantas dijadikan berita. Nah, teks berita
itulah yang dinamakan dengan news item. Namun, jika ada peristiwa yang
tidak pantas diketahui oleh orang banyak, maka peristiwa tersebut jelas
tidak layak dijadikan berita.
Generic Structure of News Item
Ada tiga susunan umum dalam menulis news item, berikut adalah generic structure dari News item :
- Main Events : Kejadian utama yang pantas dijadikan berita.
- Elaboration : Penjelasan mengenai latar belakang adanya peristiwa
tersebut; orang-orang yang terlibat dalam peristiwa tersebut; tempat
peristiwa terjadi; dan lain-lain..
- Resource of Information [Source] : Sumber berita; komentar para saksi; pendapat para ahli; dan lain-lain.
Untuk poin pertama, kejadian utama harus benar-benar pantas diberitakan. Jangan sampai ada hal ga penting dijadikan
heboh karena masuk berita, nanti dianggap pembaca / penonton berita
tidak menyukai berita tersebut. Misalnya: Pak Momod Pergi ke Pasar
Membeli Beras.. waduh siapa tuh pak Momod.. :)
Banyak
sekali ciri umum news item text; ciri paling menonjol adalah bahasanya
singkat padat dan tidak bertele-tele. Beberapa lagi diantaranya :
- Sering menggunakan action verbs
- Dominan menggunakan saying verbs
- Banyak menggunakan adverb of time, adverb of place, adverb of manner.
Catatan :
- Action verb adalah kata kerja yang menunjukan aktifitas. (lebih jelas lagi baca : Dynamic Verbs)
- Saying verb seperti "diberitakan, dikatakan, dikutip, mengatakan, memberitakan, mengutip".
- Adverb baca : Jenis Adverb
