How to Write a Good News Story

News articles are a great way to keep readers up-to-date on important information. A good news story should inform the reader, but also capture their interest and attention with a compelling anecdote or surprising fact. The structure of a news article is usually very simple, with an intro paragraph that explains the subject of the news and a more in-depth section that details important developments or details about the topic.

The title of a news story should be catchy and clearly reflect the main point of the article. It should be short enough that it will appear in a headline, and should also include a keyword or two that will help search engines find the article. A good news story will also have a nut graph, which explains the main point of the article in one or two sentences, including the who, what, when, where and why.

It’s also important to have photos with your live event stories. This is best practice for online news content and adds a visual element to the story. Photos should be taken by someone other than the reporter, and they should be of a variety of angles and poses. Be sure to avoid taking a lot of “grip and grin” pictures, which aren’t interesting or informative.
