Uudislõiges

Uudislõiges is an Estonian phrase that translates to "news segment" or "news clip." It refers to a short, self-contained piece of broadcast news, typically aired on television or radio. These segments usually focus on a specific event, story, or development, providing a concise overview of the key information.

The structure of a uudislõiges can vary, but it often includes a brief introduction, the core reporting of the news, and sometimes a concluding remark or a transition to the next segment. Visual elements like footage, graphics, and interviews are common in televised uudislõikes, while radio versions rely on spoken narration and sound effects.

News segments are a fundamental component of news broadcasts, serving to deliver information efficiently to the audience. They are produced by news organizations and are a primary way for the public to stay informed about current affairs, both locally and internationally. The brevity of a uudislõiges necessitates that reporters and editors distill complex information into easily digestible points. The term can be applied to a single news item within a larger news program or to a standalone news bulletin.
