45. Arrange your information
Decide which facts are the most important for your readers to know.
They should answer the 5 ‘w’ questions (who, what, when, where, why) in the first paragraph or two.
Information that is useful, but not critical, should be in the middle of your article.
Background information. Personal stories from witnesses.
Interesting details or other information should go at the end.

48. Deseret News
When you have completed this, look at the organizer for your article and write your rough draft.
Remember that newspaper articles need to be interesting, a bit dramatic (to catch their readers attention), and to give the facts about the event.
Try to be unbiased (Don’t take sides!) in your writing.
Don’t copy the book!!! (That would result in a Z and a redo for you!)
