How to write a news article
Answers
Answer:
Writing a news article is different from writing other articles or informative pieces because news articles present information in a specific way. It's important to be able to convey all the relevant information in a limited word count and give the facts to your target audience concisely. Knowing how to write a news article can help a career in journalism, develop your writing skills and help you convey information clearly and concisely.
Research your topic. To begin writing a news article you need to research the topic you will be writing about extensively. In order to have a credible, well written, well-structured article, you have to know the topic well.
If you’ve ever written a research paper you understand the work that goes into learning about your topic. The first phase of writing a news article or editorial is pretty similar.
Begin by asking yourself the “5 W’s” (sometimes “6 W’s”).[1]
Who - who was involved?
What - what happened?
