PARTS OF THE NEWS REPORTS
1. HEADLINE. - is the heading at the top of an article or page in a newspaper or magazine.
Ex. COVID-19 deaths soar high in Cebu City
2. LEAD PARAGRAPH - informs the reader of the most important aspects of the story as soon as possible.
- is often the only part of the story that people read.
Use the 5Ws rule:
• WHO (is involved)
• WHAT (took place)
• WHEN (did it take place)
• WHERE (did it take place)
• WHY (did it happen)
• HOW (did it happen) – only include this if there is space
Ex. This evening at about 10:00 p.m. at Malaya Hotel, the Senator, while at the lobby with his family, was shot
by an assassin, by a riding in tandem.
3. BODY - gives more details and provides more information about
the WHY and HOW of the story.
4. TAIL - contains the less important information which is often
omitted by the newspaper editor if there is not enough space left in
the newspaper.
Hints:
• Your News Report should be easy to understand; every news story
should be able to be read by a twelve-year-old learner.
• Try to be fair – include both sides of the story and don’t let your
opinion get in the way of reporting the facts.

PANEL DISCUSSIONS
Are useful if an issue is too complex for one person to
handle, or if the audience needs to be exposed to various
viewpoints at the same session.
BASIC TIPS
1. Keep the panel small and focused. Small panel number will be easy to manage and to
flesh out all points of view.
2. Plan the questions ahead of time. Planning questions will help you bullet some points
to discuss during the discussion.
3. Open with a brief reference to the topic being discussed. It is important to welcome
the audience and lead into the topic with a short hook. A short quote, an analogy, or
anecdote will warm up the audience and highlight the importance of the event.
4. Keep the focus on the panel, not on you. Maintain an appropriate tone, keep people on
task, and ensure everyone gets ample time to present his or her point of view.
5. Prepare your “cut-off phrases” ahead of time. Having some preplanned cut-of phrases
will help filter the long-winded ramble of topics. Using this tactic will keep the
discussion focused and on time.
