Sometimes it's only the summary of experiences, Sometimes it's the discription of the phenomenon in media development, Sometimes it provides policy guidance for the development of media industry. Those are outside discussions of laws on news; on the other hand, theoretical research of laws on news is relatively much less. Sharp contrast to the relative lagging of theory is the trend that the ways of news report are enriching constantly in the reality. So news report's moving towards "Type consciousness" becomes an important problem demanding prompt solution.Narratology is a discipline to study narration and different kinds of narrative types. it is devoted to probe into laws of structure and relations between various kinds of narrative elements.
