article. Are you ready to listen, class?
 D. Abstraction

Our topic for this afternoon is all about the

Guidelines in News writing.

News Writing
Writing a news article is different from writing other articles or informative pieces because news
articles present information in a specific way, following a specific structure. There are a range of
tips and tools used by journalists to write news stories:

Key Elements of a News Article

1. The Headline
News articles always start with a short, punchy, attention-grabbing headline. Headlines
often use:
• Alliteration (using the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely
connected words).
For example, “Fed up with festive food waste” or “Harry’s health sees him hurry for
home”.
• Abbreviations. For example, “Deficit expected to deepen in MYEFO report”.
• Casual language/slang. For example, “‘Intimidating’: 100 brawling youths terrorise at
Maccas”.

2. The leading paragraph (lead)

The first paragraph of a news article is called the lead. The lead is usually less than 25
words, and gives an overview of the event or story. The lead will often explain WHO, WHAT,
WHEN, WHERE, and WHY. The reason for this is that when many people read newspapers,
they often only read the first few paragraphs of a story, so journalists try to present all the
important information first.

 Who - who was involved?

 What - what happened?
 Where - where did it happen?
 Why - why did it happen?
 When - when did it happen?
 How - how did it happen?
3. The body
After the leading paragraph, the rest of the article should be written from most to least
important information. You can organize your information according to the inverted pyramid:

Tips in writing your Article

1. Newspaper articles are written in clear, direct language.

Avoid long sentences, confusing grammar or fancy turns of phrase. You should also try
to:
• Avoid using too many conjunctive sentences (sentences tied together with “and”).
Instead break any long sentences into two or three sentences. Avoid starting sentences
with But or And. Anytime you write a sentence starting with But or And, take those words
out and see if your sentence works just as well without them. If not, try reworking the
sentence.
• Avoid starting a sentence with “There are,” “There is,” “There was,” or “There were.” By
writing all sentences as Subject, Verb, Object sentences, your sentences will be sharper
and the idea you are trying to convey will be clearer.
• Write with descriptive Nouns and Verbs. Avoid the “to be” verbs of is, are, was, were.

2. Paragraphs should usually be kept short and to the point.

Big blocks of text will turn off your reader. They will not read news with lengthy contents
because it give them a hard time reading the whole article and waste their time unless it is of
much importance. As much as possible, go directly to the point and make it brief.
3. Think about your audience.
In order to write a great news article you need to know exactly who you are writing for.
Your audience will dictate the voice and tone of your article and help you to know what you
should include.

4. Find an angle.
Why is this article unique to you? What is your voice? Do you have a personal experience
that relates to your topic? These questions will help you to make your news article unique and
something that only you could write.
