This fall when the fields and lined, the crowds are out, the band is playing and the teams are taking the field, the iHigh Broadcast Network will be there. The most time-consuming part of a journalism class is the beginning lectures on what actually makes up a newspaper. It's basic stuff, yet you can't just jump into writing a news story without actually knowing what a news story is. Here's an overview of what the articles in a paper should include and how they should differ. Without them well there'd be no paper, it's that simple.
News stories are articles that have straight facts and are void of the writer's opinions.
Feel free to quote other people if you want to enlighten readers on the basic response to an event, but don't go off on some tangent within the story. Also, the first paragraph of a news story should be a summary lead and it needs to answer the questions who, what, when, where, why, and how. The body should then contain all other details about the actual event, and remember to use quotations and transitions. Sports articles fall under the category of news, so again, do not editorialize when writing one. Don't tell them what they probably already know.
