A current events paper should be at least one or two pages long. You can do two or three if you are a strong writer and explain yourself properly. Go ahead and write more if you're not very good at explaining and not repeating yourself. Remember that papers this length should be well-organized and concise. The current event topic you choose will determine how much information you can include on each page. If there's something happening in the world right now, such as a war or earthquake, you'll want to make sure you get that information in your paper. Avoid including rumors in your paper; instead, look for sources that can verify what is going on. It's important to give your paper an angle on which to focus. This could be something like "the role of ________ in society today" or "changes since the last time I wrote about this subject." The more focused you are, the better because it will make writing and researching papers easier. Finally, use proper grammar and language when writing about current events. This includes using correct verb tenses and phrases, as well as giving proper nouns appropriate punctuation.
