The informative strategy of goes beyond reporting, providing listeners with a deeper understanding of events, people, and policies.

An explanatory strategy is one in which the one providing the source of information goes into detail, describing the specifics of the topic. Rather than just stating the information and leaving it to the listeners in an explanatory strategy the information provider goes to greater lengths in defining the said information, so that the audience receives exactly the same information that the provider intends and thereby makes sure that there is minimal loss of information propagation.
