The Vietnamese word "phóng sự" translates to "reportage" in English. It refers to a style of journalism or storytelling that provides an in-depth report on a specific event, issue, or topic. This type of writing often combines facts with personal observations and interviews, giving readers a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
While "phóng sự" primarily means "reportage," it can also imply a more general sense of "report" or "feature" depending on the context. However, it is distinctly different from merely "news" (tin tức), which is more factual and straightforward.
