News Report

News Report Defined

News is an oral or written report of the


past, present, or future event in local,
national or international environment. It
answers the WHs and H questions without
embellishments.

News Reports are found in


newspapers and their purpose is to inform
readers of what is happening in the world
around them. News reports have a certain
structure that you need to follow. This
structure is sometimes called the Inverted
Pyramid.
This is what it looks like:
Follow this guide in writing the news report.
These are the parts of the news reports.
• News Reports begin with a catchy
HEADLINE. Headline is the heading at
the top of an article or page in a newspaper
or magazine. Byline – shows who wrote the
story
Ex. COVID-19 deaths soar high in Cebu
City

• LEAD PARAGRAPH informs the reader


of the most important aspects of the story as
soon as possible. The LEAD PARAGRAPH
is often the only part of the story that people
read.
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)
• WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is space
Ex. This evening at about 10:00 p.m. at Malaya Hotel, the Senator, while
at the lobby with his family, was shot by an assassin, by a riding in
tandem.

• BODY of the News Report gives more details and provides more
information about the WHY and HOW of the story.

• TAIL contains the less important information which is often omitted


by the newspaper editor if there is not enough space left in the
newspaper.
Hints:
• Your News Report should be easy to understand; every news
story should be able to be read by a twelve-year-old.
• Try to be fair – include both sides of the story and don’t let
your opinion get in the way of reporting the “facts”.

Parents' help needed vs


cyberbullying - DepEd
Jaehwa Bernardo, ABS-CBN News

MANILA - The Department of Education (DepEd) said Tuesday it needs the help of
parents and guardians to protect children who engage in online learning from
cyberbullying.

Education Undersecretary Nepomuceno Malaluan said children also need to be


discerning with the content and websites they visit.

"'Yong pagpunta sa ibang sites ay kailangan namin ang tulong ng mga magulang at
kasama sa bahay ng mga bata," he said in a virtual press briefing.

"Importante 'yong kaalaman mismo ng mga mag-aaral natin to be very discerning in


looking at digital content and online content," he added.

Malaluan assured the public that the content uploaded on the agency's online learning
platform, the DepEd Commons, has been reviewed by its Bureau of Learning Resources
and Bureau of Curriculum Development.

The DepEd Commons, which has logged over 4 million users during the enhanced
community quarantine period, contains review materials and other resources authored
by experts.

Education Secretary Leonor Briones, in the same briefing, said there are civil society
organizations giving training to parents and children to prevent cyberbullying incidents.

Online learning is one of various approaches that the DepEd will implement to deliver
lessons for the next academic year as the coronavirus pandemic continues to disrupt
traditional face-to-face learning.
