18. NEWS
GATHERING
The amount of
data you will
need to write
your story
depends on the
type of news
article you
are planning
to write.

19. Newspaper articles
require a style of
writing different
from what is used
when writing a
story. Here is a
typical skeleton of a
newspaper article
containing thefive
basic parts:
PARTS OF A
NEWS

20. headline
byline
lead
paragraph
MAJOR
DETAILS
minor
details

21. LEAD (PAMATNUBAY)
Places the most
important facts (5Ws
and H) in the first
paragraph.
Starts with the most
dramatic, most important
facts.
Ideally should contain
enough information to give
the reader good overview of
the entire story.

22. BODY
(KATAWAN)
The rest of the article;
explains, expands, and
adds details.

23. TAIL
(BUNTOT)
The tail or the end part
contains small, least
important details that
the story can do
without.

24. FIVE FORMULA FOR AN INVERTED
TRIANGLE NEWS STORY
1.Effective lead, focused, short,
memorable
2.A second paragraph that amplifies the
lead
3.A third paragraph that continues to
build detail
4.Additional details in decreasing
importance
5.Power quote: an interesting quote that
propels meaning, not just a fluffy

26. Who What Where When Why
(This will be the main dramatic point of the
story)
Any of the above not intro, plus, perhaps,
significance
(How do I know this?)
Decide whether to include this QUOTES-more
details, related info, more quotes
SO WHAT? Significance.
What next. Etc.
Here’s some
stuff you
couldn’t fit. This
could be really
left out.
ADVANTAGES OF
INVERTED PYRAMID
Frontloading important
point makes for easy and
quick reading
Allows for easy editing
Facilitates headline writing
Helps writer organize
materials gathered for the
story

27. Checklist for News Writing
1.Are the most important and recent facts
first?
2.Is the story accurate? Are the sources
identified fully?
3.Are the paragraph short?
4.Is the sentence structure varied in the
story?
5.Is the story flow? Did you use transition/
quote formula?
6.Did you use active voice?

28. The DONT’s of News Writing Style
•COLLOQUALISM –avoid using filter words like
beginning the sentence with “basically,” “often,”
“well,” and “so”
•Don’t use first or second person pronouns like
“I,” “me,” “you,” and “we.”
•Adding facts
•Putting attribution before quote
•Missing the news peg
•Missing important information and people
•Stacking quotes

29. The DONT’s of News Writing Style
•Forgetting to use student quotes
•Editorializing
•Using the first and second person. Keep
yourself out of the story. Common error: “our
school”
•Messy handwritten, poor grammar and spelling
•Paragraphs too long
•Misspelling names in the story
•Trying to use all the information. KISS (Keep It
Short and Simple)

30. Newspapers cannot be
defined by the second
word—paper. They’ve got to
be defined by the first word—
news.
