News is information about events or developments that occur in the world. It is a form of mass communication that may be presented in many ways, such as on television, radio, newspapers or online. News is often objective but can also contain opinions or commentary. It often focuses on human interest stories and aims to educate and inform the public.
What makes a story newsworthy? Typically, an event will only be reported as news if it is unusual, interesting, significant or about people. It must also be new. For example, an assassination that occurred days or even years ago would not be considered news unless it is discovered and reported for the first time.
The weather: People are interested in the current weather conditions and how they might affect their daily activities. They are also interested in weather history and trends. Food and drink: Stories about food and drink are of interest to many people, as are stories about cooking, nutrition, dietary supplements and diets. Sex: All societies are interested in sex, particularly when it involves behaviour that goes against society’s generally accepted norms.
In writing a news article, it is important to focus on the main points and provide sufficient detail. It is also important to include quotes from reputable sources. The use of first names or initials (rather than full names) is preferred for people being quoted. This is to avoid jarring readers with abrupt switches between the first and third person.
