News is information about current events that affects people locally, nationally and internationally. It can be about politics, the economy, wars, natural disasters, sports, culture and much more. The information that makes it into a newspaper, onto the TV news line-up or posted on a news Internet site is the result of editorial decisions. What is considered to be newsworthy will vary from one society to the next, but in general a story will make the news if it is interesting and relevant to a wide audience.
When writing an article about News it is important to ask yourself the five W’s: Who, What, Where, When and Why. Answering these questions will help you determine the important details of the story and how best to present them to your audience. When possible, try to interview the source of the news to get their perspective on the event or topic. This will add credibility to your article.
It is also important to think about the tone of your article and how it will be perceived by the audience. It is best to avoid using slang or colloquial language in your article as it may come across as unprofessional. It is also a good idea to have someone else read your article before you submit it for publication as they will be able to catch any spelling and grammar errors that you might have overlooked.
Aside from being informative and entertaining, News serves many other purposes. It is a tool for social change, serving as a watchdog by monitoring and exposing corruption in government and business, and providing a platform for discussions on social issues that concern the public.
