Chan Liu · Journal of Tianjin Normal University · 2014
A new formality of news——uncertain news could be brought up by observing the news reports of the Malaysian missing flight MH370.From the perspective of literature narration,uncertainty news could be related with unreliable narration.The ynreliable narration theory includes three dimensions and six formalities.Since the nature of this event can not be determined yet,news reports around the missing flight belong to the incorrect report and insufficient report of the fact/event axis.In the fictional literature narration,uncertain narration can be regarded as the contradiction of the direct narrator and the hidden author;while in the factual narrations in journalism,uncertainty narration can be sourced from the conflict between uncertain facts and hidden facts.The emergence of uncertain news provides a unique angle in understanding the uncertain narrations in journalism narration.
