Abstract

In the context of new media development, this paper explores the distinctive aesthetic principles that set realistic television dramas apart from other literary and artistic forms. Going beyond mere adherence to the Marxist view on literature and art, this paper puts forward a new conceptual framework by arguing that the creation of such dramas should actively incorporate the guiding principles of news writing. This proposition is supported by two key reasons: first, the feasibility of such integration, which stems from the substantial overlap in their core creative elements and normative frameworks; second, its necessity, which arises from the changing narrative approaches of communicators and the shifted communication channels and cognitive patterns of audiences in the post-truth era. Consequently, realistic television dramas must adopt more concrete and rigorous creative principles to adequately respond to contemporary demands.
