Correct Ans: (D)

In journalism, tie-backs in news reports play a crucial role. They are used specifically to refresh the readerโ€™s memory. Since news stories often cover ongoing events, readers may forget earlier details. Thus, tie-backs help bring back essential background information.

To begin with, reporters use tie-backs to remind readers of previous developments. For example, if a political leader gets arrested today, the news report may refer to earlier allegations or events linked to the case. By doing so, the report becomes more coherent and informative. Readers can easily connect the dots between current and past events.

Furthermore, tie-backs enhance the continuity of the narrative. Instead of treating each news piece as a standalone, journalists use this tool to create a flow of information over time. This is especially useful in reporting court cases, policy changes, investigations, or elections.

Moreover, tie-backs improve reader engagement. They help those who may have missed earlier stories understand the current report without confusion. Rather than making readers search for older articles, tie-backs offer instant context within the same piece.

While tie-backs differ from attribution or factual accuracy methods, they still contribute to clarity and transparency. They don’t verify truth but instead ensure the audience recalls relevant facts.

In conclusion, tie-backs strengthen the storytelling element in journalism. By linking current updates to past details, they ensure the news remains clear, connected, and reader-friendly.
