Summarize :

What makes news different from other forms of writing?

·         It is accurate. Reporters pay close attention to detail when gathering facts and details.

·         It is concise. News is written as concisely and tightly as possible.

·         It is in Active Voice: o The best stories contain a single dominant theme and use the subject-verb-direct object structure. o The noun is concrete, referring to specifics. o Verbs are vivid, showing exact action.

·         It is clear. The reporter must understand the event first, and then write about it in a clear, precise, logical simple language. If the reporter is confused about the event, the writing will be confusing also.

·         It is relevant. The reporter selects the most important quotes, illustrations, anecdotes and facts.

·         Opinion is attributed. All information that cannot be proven is attributed to the source of the material.

·         Sources are identified. Reporters should identify sources by name, title or other description. Anonymous sources are not acceptable, except in rare instances where privacy issues are at stake.

·         It is fair and balanced. All sides of the story are given their say and are treated without favouritism.

·         It is objective. It is written in third person and without editorial comment by the reporter.

·         It is true. The reporter must find the truth among the facts, statements and denials. Reporters must seek to tell the latest version of the truth. As more facts come to light, the truth will change.

The common news elements are the following:

Proximity: This has to do with location. If the event is happening close by, it will impact your readers more than if it is happening across town, or across the world, all other considerations being equal. A dance at your school, for instance, is more newsworthy than a dance at another school.

Prominence: This has to do with how well known the people involved in your story are. If the person or persons are well known to your readers, the story will impact your readers more than a similar story involving people they do not know.

Timeliness: If something is happening NOW, it has more impact than something that happened yesterday or last week. Often, the most recent development is the feature of the story.

Consequence: If the impact of an event on your readers is major, they want to know all about it. For instance, they might not care that a particular street is being shut down for repairs, until it is brought to their attention that this will reroute the major portion of the traffic into their residential areas. This will affect them in a significant way, and they will want to know about it.

Human interest: If a situation makes you angry, sad, happy or overjoyed, it contains the news element of human interest. If there is conflict or drama or the situation is out of the ordinary, the situation also has human interest. Any time human emotions come into play, this news element is present. Some stories are newsworthy on this basis alone. Most news stories have a combination of two or more of these news elements.

Reflection : Having learned about A Matter of facts is bout to understand what is fact how to make difference between fact and opinion, I think that fact is the real of incident and people have already believes that is true, and opinion is about people’s thinker it can be different and everyone has argument each other.
