It is no secret that journalism has its own rules and requirements for writing text. Some of the types of journalistic works have a clear structure, which is almost always indispensable. Similar texts include news. Few people thought about it, but most news stories were written in the same pattern.
You will need
You should find out as much information as possible about the event that you want to describe in the news. It will be very good if you can take comments from participants or organizers, as well as find statistics on the problem.
Instruction manual
1
To start, make up the lead - the first paragraph of the news. He should answer the questions “who?”, “What did?”, “When?”, “Where?”. You can also add an addendum to it in the form of an answer to the question “why?”. Remember, the lead does not have to be big. It may consist of one or two sentences. The main thing is to state the essence of the news as clearly as possible.
2
Next, we decode the information that is described in the lead. We add the facts, list the people present at the event (if they are known), compare data from past periods. In this part, it is worth answering in detail the questions "How?" and why?"
3
At the end of the news, you can give a comment by a specialist or event participant. It must necessarily relate directly to the topic, as well as have some additional information. Better to avoid evaluative or overly expressive comments.
note
It must be remembered that news very quickly lose their relevance. Therefore, it is better not to write a note about the event that happened a week ago, but a report or article.
Helpful advice
News is a work in which the author should not openly declare his attitude to the event. Also, the pronoun "I" should not be present in the text, since the author of the article in this case is as impersonal as possible.
