News is current information about events obtained from all over the world and reported quickly to readers. It varies in subject matter, but all news articles are expected to be impartial in accordance with the ethical rules of the journalism profession.
The first step in writing a news article is researching the topic extensively. This can be done by searching online, looking up books at a library or asking people in the community about what is happening. The second step is gathering all of the information you have gathered and organizing it into a pyramid of “buckets” based on importance. This will help you decide what facts are essential to your article and what can be omitted. Then you can start the actual writing!
Once you have finished writing the news article, it is important to make sure that all of your sources are credited correctly. This can be done by adding a “Works Cited” page to your article or by including a footnote at the bottom of the article with all the sources you used. This will give readers the opportunity to verify the facts of the story themselves if they wish.
When reading a piece of news, it is helpful to keep in mind that any media source has both conscious and unconscious biases that affect how they present the news. This is not to say that a conservative or liberal viewpoint cannot be informative and entertaining, but it is important to balance your news intake with other more reliable sources.
