Writing Effective Newspaper Articles Formula for Success Copyright © 2012 Gareth Manning

Inverted Pyramid Structure Most Newsworthy Info 5Ws: Who, What, Where, When, Why, How Important Information (in descending order of importance) Supportive or Background Info Remember: most news readers skim quickly! Most important info must be at the start!

A typical newspaper article contains six parts: Headline: catches reader’s attention Byline: tells who wrote the story, as well as the date. Lead paragraph: Contains ALL of the who, what, when, where, why and how in it. Example: This afternoon handsome school teacher, Gareth Manning, is being thrown a party for being wonderful by his Grade 9 students on Mount Robson using funds raised for their graduation ceremony. Explanation paragraphs: Important facts and quotes not included in lead paragraph, written in order of importance (most to least). Additional Information: Least important information, perhaps about a similar or related event. Concluding Paragraph: Catchy, memorable ending.

Also… Paragraphs must be short and concise. Written in the third person. Be unbiased—just a report on the facts.
