Notes on News Article Writing

• The headline should be accurate and in the present tense

• The first sentence needs to be short and dramatic.  Surprise your reader!  Make them curious.

• Be clear from the start – put the facts of the story first.

• Remember to use the 5 W’s – who is involved; what happened; when did it happen; where and, most important, why?

• Be accurate – get your facts correct.

• Use active verbs wherever possible.

• Keep the article brief – don’t bore your reader and don’t make it too complicated to understand.  Be incisive.

• Be fair – there are at least two sides to every story.  Let the readers make up their own minds.

• Avoid clichés – find new ways to describe familiar people and events

• Search for a special ingredient – make your story stand out from the others

• Use your keywords wisely Google News needs them to present your story in the listings as much as they need original content.

• For best effect we recommend at least once in the title then 3-4 times in the body paying particular attention to the first and last paragraphs

• Concise – keep it punchy and don’t use unnecessary flowery language e.g. cutting- edge, revolutionary.

• Factual – present the information for distribute that is true, correct and doesn’t embellish anything that to be communicated.

• Objectivity – virtually impossible to do, but refrain from using over hyped quotes from sources as they will be presented as being too biased.
