How to write a News Article News reporters are taught to write with objectivity, presenting the facts only, without opinions or judgments on the subject. By using objective language, the writer lets readers form their own opinions without influence.

The Main Idea The main idea in a news article is its most important point. Often, the main idea is stated in the lead paragraph.

When writing your News Article State your main idea in the opening sentence Use details in the form of facts, statistics and summaries Use opinions and quotations from experts and eyewitnesses

Writing Lesson News Feature: Though usually based at least indirectly on a news event, news feature, like Davidson’s articly, provide information of general interest, explore the human-interest angle of a news story, or describe a personality.

Writing your News Article Write your own news feature about a subject of interest-perhaps a hobby, sports hero, or fashion trend.

Prewriting Start by planning a lead that will grab the reader’s attention. If none comes to mind, think of the questions you will answer in the feature. One of your answers may spark an idea.

Grab the reader’s attention For example: It stretches. It twists. It comes in all sizes and colors. And it never needs washing. What’s the latest fad to hit high schools all across America? It’s rubber-band jewelry.

Drafting your news article Once you have created an attention-grabbing lead, keep readers interested with details that answer who, what, when, where, why, and how about your subject. Remember to offer facts only, without your personal opinion.

Revising Read your news feature as though you know nothing about the topic. Circle words or ideas that need more elaboration, and then add any details that will clarify the writing.
