News is information about current events that affect the public. It can be delivered through a variety of media, including print (newspapers and magazines), radio, television and the internet. The main goal of news is to convey the latest and most important events to the public. It is usually unbiased and factual.
To write a news article you need to research the subject thoroughly and gather all relevant facts. It is often helpful to write a list of all the essential details and interview people who are experts in the area of your topic. This will help you to include all the important information in your news article, while removing any unnecessary detail that would detract from the overall impact of the story.
The most important thing to remember when writing a news article is to keep it concise. People don’t have much time to read, so make sure that your news articles are easy to understand and don’t contain a lot of long winding sentences. This will ensure that your readers stay engaged and will be more likely to share the information they have read with others.
Generally speaking, the most interesting events are those that are unexpected and/or unusual. However, even if something has been widely talked about before it can still be newsworthy if it is reported in a new way or if some important facts are revealed for the first time. For example, the assassination of Mrs Gandhi was well known but if some previously unknown facts about it were to come to light this could become newsworthy again.
Crime: any kind of crime is newsworthy, from road traffic offences and robberies to corruption, forgery and murder. The more serious and unusual the crime, the more interesting it will be. Money: fortunes made and lost, school fees, taxes, the Budget, food prices and compensation claims all make for interesting reading, as do stories about people who give a small amount but receive a great deal in return – for example a woman who gave her ten cents to a fund-raising campaign that raised a million dollars.
Health: All societies are interested in how to maintain good health and many find the study of diseases, hospitals and clinics, diet, exercise and drugs of interest. Stories about celebrities and those who are famous for their achievements also attract attention.
Finally, all societies are interested in sex, especially if it goes against society’s norms. These are the types of stories that tend to get the most coverage in tabloids and magazines.
