As a kind of constructive news form which emphasizes positive emotion and positive feeling,Chinese scholars introduce this concept actively,and connect and differentiate it with their own ideas of "constructive" and "positive propaganda".What are the characteristics of international constructive journalism practice from the perspective of practice?Is the practice of constructive journalism in China put forward by Chinese scholars the same as that in the world?From which we can learn from the experience,how to use these experiences to expand our reporting path?These questions are the content that this paper hopes to study and answer.This paper attempts to start from the practical level and bring a new perspective to the study of constructive journalism.In the first part,content analysis and are used to analyze the practice samples of constructive journalism in the world.The "Education Lab" column of the Seattle Times,the online media Positive News and the column "Impact" of the Huffington Post were selected as the research samples,and the overall characteristics of the practice were investigated from two aspects of the reporting content and reporting methods.In terms of reporting content,constructive j ournalism practices pay attention to long-term issues,try to break the influence of proximity,report in a positive framework,and at the same time show an obvious problem-solving orientation.In terms of reporting methods,it jumps out of the traditional framework and is good at using data to present the real effect.The solution plan is detailed and the subject is diversified.The second part selects three types of news that most domestic scholars consider as constructive news samples in China:livelihood news,warm news and news supervision by public opinion,and selects corresponding practice samples for analysis.In practice,people's livelihood news focuses on topics close to life,reports from a civilian perspective,and reports in a concentrated direction but not in depth.On the content level,warm news presents the characteristics of positive emotional orientation,popularization and close topic selection tendency,while on the reporting way level,it presents a certain problem-solving orientation.The practice of news supervision by public opinion focuses on negative problems in content but shows positive results in the end.It also relies on the masses closely in the way of reporting,and achieves accurate and legal supervision.The third part summarizes the connection and difference between international practice and Chinese practice.From the perspective of reporting content,international practice is more inclined to focus on long-term and international issues,while Chinese practice is more focused on local and short-term news.However,both of them hope to show social progress and give the audience feelings of hope.In terms of reporting methods,both international practice and Chinese practice show a problem-solving orientation,but the international practice is more inclined to present detailed plans,while the domestic report rarely presents plans.International practice does not advocate,which is somewhat different from the positive public opinion orientation in China.In terms of the role of media,international practice plays a new role as a builder.However,both of them have expanded their own reporting perspectives and broken the conventional negative framework.Finally,taking others as a mirror,the author puts forward the prospect of future practice.In our reporting practice,we should pay attention to raising our consciousness of solving difficulties,warm news should "Warm up",and people's livelihood news should broaden its perspective,in-depth analysis and supervision of news and public opinion should pay attention to the presentation of the program and the tracking of its effects,in addition to promoting public participation and strengthening the cultivation of journalists.
