News is information about events or issues that are important to people. It can be a story that affects the whole country or just one person. News is usually reported in a newspaper, magazine or online. It can also be a movie, TV or radio program about the event.
When writing a news article you need to think about the audience you are trying to reach and what will be the most interesting or important information for them. The best way to do this is by thinking of the questions “What, When, Who, Where and Why?” This will help you figure out what facts are most important in your article.
You will want to begin with a catchy headline that grabs attention and entices the reader to read further. Next you need to do your research. Depending on the topic this may take some time. It is a good idea to use multiple sources to get the most accurate information possible. After you have gathered all the information that you need you will start to create your outline. It is important to put the most important facts first. Then you will write the paragraphs around the main points.
It is also important to keep in mind that just because something happened does not make it newsworthy. It has to be new, unusual, interesting, significant or about people. It also has to be relevant to the reader’s life. The final factor is how much of an impact it will have.
