You should read several newspaper articles to get a good
idea of how a news story is written. When writing a news story, you should include the
five W's: who, what, when, where, why, and sometimes how is included as well. Use the
five W's to first outline your story about Patrick's death. From that, you can then put
them into a story.
- who: the characters in the
story and brief description of who they are - what
happened: brief description of murder - when: the time
given in the story when Patrick came home - where it
happened - why: Do police know why someone would kill
Patrick?
Once you do this, you can write your
news story from your outline. Just remember that a reporter only writes the facts that
are given and doesn't put in any opinions about what happened.
