Formula for a Well-Written News Article

1.  First paragraph

In your first one or two sentences tell who, what, when, where, and why. Try to hook the reader by beginning with a funny, clever, or surprising statement. Go for variety: try beginning your article with a question or a provocative statement.

2.  Second/Third/Fourth paragraphs
Give the reader the details. Include one or two quotes from people you interviewed. Write in the third person (he, she, it, they). Be objective -- never state your opinion. Use quotes to express others' opinions!

3. Last paragraph
Wrap it up somehow ( don't leave the reader hanging. Please don't say...."In conclusion" or "To finish..." (yawn!) Try ending with a quote or a catchy phrase.
  • Use active words (verbs that show what's really happening.)
  • Take notes when you interview. Write down quotes!
  • Tell the really interesting info first!
