 News Component, Manuscript Structure

2. News Stories
A news story is a written or recorded

(or, occasionally, live) article or
interview that informs the public about
current events, concerns, or ideas.You
don't usually write the story – though
sometimes local media will use exactly
what words you give them – but you
provide story ideas to journalists who
then flesh out your idea to create the
story as it appears.
A news story can be:
Long or short, depending on

its newsworthiness (we’ll Written, recorded, live, or Hard - full of important facts
discuss this more later) or taped, depending on the and news items, or soft -
interest to people who watch medium you use and the focusing on the personal,
TV, listen to the radio, or read timeliness of the story more human side of a news
the paper. event or situation.
 There Are Tips For Planning Stories :
All news stories are made up of facts, observations, quotations, and details.
Reporters almost always have more than they can use, and because they've worked hard
to collect all of that information, their natural impulse is to use as much of it as possible in
their stories. But cramming in all the facts that will fit rarely results in a well-told story
that will engage the audience. It is harder to understand stories that are overstuffed with
information. A reporter who tries to explain everything may succeed only in confusing the
audience. Besides, newspapers’ space; radio and television news’ airtime; and readers,
listeners, and viewers’ spare time and attention also have certain limits. Good journalism
involves selection, not compression. Reporters must use their news judgment to decide
what is most important to include in a story and in what order to put it. For many
reporters, the most difficult part of telling a story is deciding what to leave out. One way
to make those decisions is to choose a central point or a theme for the story, is also called a
focus.
Focus: The focus of a story is basically the answer to the question, "What is this
story really about?" To determine the focus, Chip Scanlan suggests asking five
additional questions:
1 2 3 4 5
What's the news? What's the story? What's the How can I tell it in So what?
image? six words?
Imagine that you're covering a fast-moving wildfire. You've been out talking to people and
observing the damage all day. Now, you need to focus your story before you begin writing. Here's
how you might use the questions to find your focus:

1.What's the story? 2.What's the image? or less?

5.What's the news?

4.So what?

district was spared.
After that we Made the planning Stories, we also must know the writting instrution when
we write the news stories. There Are some writting instrution for help us:
● Study your notes carefully; determine the main point of the story. Cross out all irrelevant and
unimportant details.
● Arrange remaining notes in the order of decreasing importance by making a sketchy
paragraph-by-paragraph outline. Generally, use only one new idea in each paragraph.
● Write appropriate lead, test it (if it gives answers for all 5Ws and 1H).
● You are now ready to write the body of the story.
Here are second ways to start. Either the next most important fact goes after the lede
in the first paragraph of the body, or the 5Ws and 1H given in the lead are explained
or elaborated.
1. Next again review the remaining details you have to include in the story to make sure that
they are in the order of importance. Then remember to include only ONE main idea in a
paragraph.
2. Keep paragraphs short. Long paragraphs tend to make a page look gray and also take
longer to read.
3. See that paragraphs and sentences follow one another smoothly. The story then has
CONTINUITY or achieves COHERENCE, another name for continuity. If a story
“coheres”, it “sticks together”. Continuity and coherence is achieved in following ways:
● a) repetition of a key word of the preceding paragraph;
● b) use of a synonym referring to a key word in a preceding paragraph;
● c) other referring words to a preceding paragraph.
4. As a reporter you need to distinguish between FACT
and OPINION;that is, your own
opinion and someone else´s. You may report the opinion
of someone else, however, provided that your
attribute it by direct or indirect quotation.
5. Objectivity is more than avoiding presentation of you

own opinion. It requires that you present all
significant points of view in a controversial story.
