Tips for writing news items
How to arrange News Item text? Check out the steps in detail below:
- Determine the news to be delivered. Preferably the news that is currently hot or current in the community. The warmer the better.
- Write the main story at the beginning of the manuscript you are going to write. This is useful for keeping the reader focused and wanting to read more.
- Write the contents of the news with 5 W + 1 H. That is, the news is about what, when, where, and why this happened. Write down the process in detail.
- Write down news sources. It could also be through eyewitnesses of the incident. For example, there is a fire disaster in a village, write an interview with one of the residents who saw the beginning of the incident.
- After the news draft is ready, start assembling. Since News Item Text is an English script, you can choose one of these two options. Use Indonesian first and then translate into English, or use English directly.
The final part is editing. Manuscripts that have been made should not be published immediately. Need to re-check. The re-check can focus on spelling, functional sentences, and the content of the news is worthy or not suitable for people to read.
