    Pre-Test

    Pre-Test
    5. _________ the remaining
    paragraphs of a news article which
    contains the explanation of the report.

    6. ________ the illustration


    related to the news article.
    A news article explains a real-life event. It
    presents basic information like the persons
    involved, place, time and what happened. A news
    report contains a headline, byline, place line, lead
    and body paragraphs. Quotations are important in
    a news report because they are statements from
    key witnesses or part of the story.
    PARTS OF THE NEWS ARTICLE

    1. Headline
    2. Byline
    3. Place line
    4. Lead Paragraph
    5. Body Paragraphs
    Headline
    This is a short, attention-
    getting statement about
    the event.
    Byline
    This tells who
    wrote the story.
    Place line
    This tells where the
    news report was written
    Lead Paragraph
    This has ALL of the who,
    what, when, where, why
    and how in it.
    Body Paragraphs

    1. Explanation &
    2. Additional
    Information
    explanation
    After the lead paragraph has been written, the writer
    must decide what other facts or details the reader might
    want to know. The writer must make sure that he/she
    has enough information to answer any important
    questions a reader might have after reading the
    headline and the lead paragraph.

    This section can also include direct quotes from


    witnesses or bystanders.
    Additional information

    This information is the least important. Thus, if the


    news article is too long for the space it needs to
    fill, it can be shortened without rewriting any other
    part. This part can include information about a
    similar event.
    TIPS ON WRITING A NEWS
    ARTICLE
    1. Write a good lead.

    The lead, or the first few


    sentences, needs to be strong
    enough to grab the reader's
    attention and make them want
    to read more.
    1. Write a good lead.

    If it's a hard news story, which is breaking or up-


    to-the-minute news, then include as many facts
    as you can in the summary of the story.

    If it's a soft news story, like a human-interest


    story or background information, then you can
    place the facts in the body of the story.
    EXAMPLE OF A GOOD LEAD
    "On the second floor of an old Bavarian
    palace in Munich, Germany, there's a
    library with high ceilings, a distinctly
    bookish smell and one of the world's most
    extensive collections of Latin texts. About
    20 researchers from all over the world
    work in small offices around the room." -
    Byrd Pinkerton, NPR
    Leads tell the reader what the story is
    about and why it's important.
    Avoid burying the lead (also written as "bury the lede")

    This refers to when you fail to emphasize


    the most important or most interesting part
    of the story, starting out with secondary
    information first.
    • In news writing, always follow the inverted
    pyramid. That is, place the most pressing
    facts at the start of the article and close
    with the least compelling elements.

    • Avoid long or complicated words. A news


    story isn't the place to impress people with
    your intelligence or command of the
    English language.
    • Choose short sentences over lengthy sentences
    that require many forms of punctuation. Here are
    six basic punctuation rules to consider.

    • Follow a simple subject-verb-object form.

    • Don't use too many commas.
