Slide 7 - Diapositive

To recap:
A good news report should contain:

  • Sub-headline, summarising
  • Byline (author, date, location)
  • Paragraphs
  • Sub-headings (possibly)

Slide 8 - Diapositive

Approach:
  • Register: usually semi-formal, clear, direct
  • Main facts to subordinate details: a news report starts with the important facts, and gradually moves downwards to the least important facts.
  • Fact/opinion distinction: it should be clear what the objective facts are and what are subjective opinions (e.g. opinions are likely to be expressed as quotes from identified individuals).
