In this session, here is what you have learned:

There are many different types of newspapers that cover general news or news specific to an area of interest.

Newspapers are usually published daily or weekly and can have different editions.

There are three main types of articles in a newspaper: news, features, and editorials. News is fact-based—or expository—writing, features are entertaining, and editorials express opinions.

An article consists of a headline, a lead, and the body.

Reporters use a specific formula, known as the five Ws, to write news articles.

The Reporter's Formula

When writing an article, journalists ask themselves five standard questions to make sure they cover all of the necessary facts. These questions are known as the five Ws.

Who? Who are the people involved or affected?

What? What happened? What situation or event is this article about?

When? When did the event occur, or when did the situation develop?

Where? Where did this event take place?

Why? Why did this event occur?

Be sure to take notes on the five Ws.

Structure of a Newspaper Article

The way a piece of writing is organized and presented is the text structure. Writers use different text structures for a variety of purposes. For example, in a front-page hard news article, the first paragraph usually contains the basic facts of the story.

News articles give readers a lot of information right away. On the other hand, the text structure of a feature article may be more relaxed. Feature articles sometimes ease readers into the details of the story.

An article, just like a newspaper, has specific parts. Here are the most basic parts:

The headline lets you know what the article is about before you read it.

The lead, or opening sentences, is the most important part of the article. It provides readers with the essential facts of the article.

The body of the article provides a detailed account of the story. Facts and important information are presented in descending order of importance.

Banner—The name of a newspaper is called the banner. The banner appears at the top of the front page in large letters that are easy to see.

Headline—A headline summarizes the story in a single phrase.

Subhead—A subhead is a smaller headline that gives a little more information about the story.

Sidebar—Additional information meant to help readers better understand the main story is sometimes provided in a sidebar.
