What I Learned This Week (3/25)

This past week I learned how to semi-write a news story. The first step in writing one is applying a "inverted triangle format" to decide what to write and where to write it. For example, the lead is the most important sentence in a story... As stated before. So, the first sentence and a few sentences after provide the most important information in the story. All the newsworthy information should be written first (Who, What, Where, When, Why and How). The next thing that you are supposed to write about is, the important details that may have been left out in the first section of the story. Lastly, you should include any extra general information that readers may want to know, but it not considered "important" for them to know. After knowing all of that, you are on your way to writing an exceptional news story!!
