that people read.
Use the 5Ws rule:
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)
• WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is space.

about the WHY and HOW of the story.

newspaper.
Hints:
• Your News Report should be easy to understand; every news story should
be able to be read by a twelve year old!
• Try to be fair – include both sides of the story and don’t let your personal
opinion get in the way of reporting the ‘facts’.
