News is the information that tells us about current events, obtained from every moment and everywhere. It is also known as a type of public relations. News reports are gathered and presented by skilled peoples, who aim to entertain, inspire, or inform. This is usually done by telling a story, which may contain conflict and controversy.
The news can be presented in many different forms such as newspapers, magazines, radio and television. It is an important part of our daily lives as it helps to inform us about what is going on in the world around us. It can be a positive or negative influence on the way we live our lives.
A good news story will be new, unusual, interesting and significant. It will also have a human interest element. This could be the way the story affects a particular group of people or how it will affect society as a whole.
People will also be interested in stories that involve famous people, especially if they are doing something unusual or if they become involved in scandal. They will also be interested in health stories such as traditional remedies, medical research and hospitals, disease, diet and exercise. They will also be interested in stories about sex even though they may not always like to hear it.
A well written news article will also include the five Ws – who, what, where, when and why. It is important to be accurate in this area as a misrepresentation of the facts can be very damaging. It is also important to include any supporting evidence, such as quotations from people involved in the story and opinions of industry experts.
