Euronews, the european news channel, has a content format called no comment, which aims to connect the user as directly as possible with the news.
It consists of video images of an event, without the completion of written or spoken information. And what invalidates this format in terms of information format: without the slightest context that would give even an aseptic title.
In this way, the viewer finds himself seeing images usually of a subjective camera, in the total absence of something that guides him about what he is seeing.
The result is the misunderstanding of what you have on screen and not the feeling of living something in a crude way.
The lack of understanding of what is seen act as a barrier between the user and the event, so the transport of information is interrupted (unless you have that context in another way) and the format becomes abstract, the news never is formed.
I find very strange that a news channel has conceived a format without context, because without this crucial element it is impossible that the news exists …
