Identifying Features of a Newspaper Report
- A newspaper report is a factual account of an event or news story. It provides information and often an opinion from experts.
Key Features
- Headline: A short, catchy title that summarizes the main idea of the report. It attracts readers.
- Subheading: Smaller headings that break down the report into sections and highlight specific parts of the story. They help to understand the structure of the report.
- Paragraphs: Sections of text that explain parts of the news story. These are organized logically; they might describe the events, explain the cause, provide information about impacted people, and give opinions of interested parties.
- Quote: A direct statement from a person involved in the event. Quotes provide a personal perspective on the story.
- Facts: The event's description and specifics about things that happened. They are verifiable details not opinion or guesses. Facts are essential to accurate news reporting.
- Author/Byline: Names the person(s) who wrote the report, offering an author or reporter's perspective or opinions on a smaller scale than the story does itself.
- Date: Provides information about when the news event took place, as well as the date when the newspaper itself was published. This allows for context.
- Location/Place: Where the event or story took place. It is important to note any geographical location or city names, as it provides context for the news story.
- Pictures/Images: Visual representations of the news event. Diagrams, photographs or maps can help visualize the event for a reader.
- Contact information: Any contact information or website address about the news event, as well as the newspaper. This helps support the legitimacy of articles and may offer more insight into a specific event or allow engagement with the organization/article/reporter.
- Background Information: Information that explains details leading to the event. This supports a broader understanding of what took place and gives context to the event or story.
