Short message

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A short message is the passing on of brief or concise information.

journalism

In contrast to a message , which provides "a more comprehensive presentation [...] answers to the journalistic questions (W-questions) relevant to the topic", the short message is limited to "the presentation of a matter / event to the minimum". In newspaper journalism , this is usually understood to be a one-column report with 10–12 lines (two to three sentences). Similarly, on television, the news blocks in the otherwise topic-related news programs - such as. B. Zeit im Bild (ZIB2, ORF) or Rundschau-Magazin (BR) - designed exclusively with short reports. The hourly or half-hourly news blocks in music-oriented radio programs are predominantly or exclusively designed with short messages, the total length of which is around two to three minutes.

Many news reports are, as long as the investigation is still ongoing, advance as breaking news ( english breaking news ) issued to the need for very fast and latest news to satisfy and are also available as a short message to the appearance of the detailed message. Some of them are shown as scrolling text in the television program.

Other meanings
