🗞️ 今日の練習 (Today's Practice) — Advanced Vocabulary (JLPT N2-N1): Newspaper & Media Language

**Today's theme: Newspaper & Media Language — 新聞・メディアの語彙 (しんぶん・メディアのごい)** 🗞️

Whether you're reading Japanese news online or trying to understand a TV broadcast, media vocabulary shows up constantly at N2-N1 level. These words also appear frequently in JLPT reading passages, so mastering them gives you a real edge!

**📰 Today's Words**

**1. 報道する (ほうどうする)** — to report (news), to cover a story

例: テレビ局はその事件を速報で報道した。(The TV station reported the incident as breaking news.)

→ Often paired with 取材 (しゅざい / on-site coverage). 報道陣 (ほうどうじん) means "press corps."

**2. 世論 (よろん / せろん)** — public opinion

例: 政府の決定は世論の強い反発を受けた。(The government's decision faced strong public backlash.)

→ Both よろん and せろん are accepted readings — よろん is more common in spoken Japanese.

**3. 掲載する (けいさいする)** — to publish, to carry (an article/photo)

例: その記事は朝刊の一面に掲載された。(The article was published on the front page of the morning edition.)

**4. 見出し (みだし)** — headline

**5. 論評 (ろんぴょう)** — commentary, critical review

→ More formal than コメント. Frequently used in newspapers and academic writing.

**6. 配信する (はいしんする)** — to distribute/stream/deliver (news or content)
