This study investigated the role of hypertext in the process of telling a news story. Qualitative and textual research have paid little attention to news stories. This article selected the narrative elements of order and structure to discuss the differences between contemporary and traditional news. Regarding order, the narrative of hypertext news stories has shifted from a time-oriented model to a spatial or visual screen design. In terms of structure, it has transformed from a primarily convergent structure to a combination of convergent and divergent structures. News for dummies no longer provides only a simple report but also expands the imagination of individuals with respect to news stories and identifies more appropriate narrative structures.
