Keywords:: news style; publicity paradigm; literature paradigm; professional paradigm

Abstract:: News style refers to the structure and discourse style of news report. The evolution of news style isdetermined by the logic of journalists’ news practice and the change of mentality in journalism. News stylisticparadigm is the generalization of different stylistic norms governing“ how to write” . Rising above the specificnews texts, the paradigm determines the stylistic concepts behind stylistic forms and techniques. Combining theinternal rationale and external form of news text, the history of news style development in China since 1949 hasbeen shaped by the interaction among journalism, politics and literature（ or culture）. It also conforms to theself-consistency of the inherent logic of news style. In fact, the three styles of“ publicity paradigm”“, literatureparadigm” and“ professional paradigm” interact with one another. On this basis, they interweave with oneanother, learn from one another, absorb and transform one another. The three stylistic paradigms do not emergealong the time course, nor are they different generations of the same thing. On the contrary, they sometimescoexist in the same stage, sometimes in the same media, and sometimes even in the same news text.
