Important tips in news writing:
• In Filipino, start the news with a verb.
• In English, start the news with a subject, followed by a
verb.
• Avoid redundancy of words.
• Do not use ambiguous message or words.
• SPELL OUT EVERYTHING.
• Numbers of 9 and below should be spelled out, except for
date & address.
• 1-2 sentences is enough for a lead. 3 and above is too
much
• 3-4 paragraph news is enough . 5 and above is boring.
