點(diǎn)評(píng) 新聞報(bào)道類類文章有一共同特點(diǎn)，即都是由標(biāo)題（Headline）、導(dǎo)語（Lead）、主體（Mainbody）、背景（Background）和結(jié)尾（End）五部分構(gòu)成．標(biāo)題是新聞報(bào)道中心思想高度而又精辟的概括；導(dǎo)語位于新聞報(bào)道的首段，高度概括新聞事實(shí)；主體則對(duì)導(dǎo)語概括的新聞事實(shí)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)敘述；新聞背景是指新聞事實(shí)之外，對(duì)新聞事實(shí)或新聞事實(shí)的某個(gè)部分進(jìn)行解釋或補(bǔ)充的材料；結(jié)尾往往是新聞事件的結(jié)果或動(dòng)態(tài)展望，也是中心思想的概括并常常與新聞導(dǎo)語相呼應(yīng)．
新聞報(bào)道中的導(dǎo)語非常重要，它位于文章的第一段，通過它點(diǎn)出新聞的主題，五個(gè)W和一個(gè)H（When，Where，Who，What，Why和How）通常是構(gòu)成一則完整消息不可缺少的要素．文章往往呈現(xiàn)出"倒金字塔"的特征，因此讀懂首句或首段至關(guān)重要．
