ABSTRACT
In countless ways and ceaselessly, social life takes up and freezes into itself the understandings we have of it.
—Goffman (1974, p. 563)
From news ontology to news phenomena, it is a process of the subject reflecting the factual world, a process of the subject reporting on the factual world, as well as a process of the subject constructing scenes of the factual world. In a certain sense, this process can be said to be as a process of the subject creating news.
—B. Yang (2008a, p. 255)
