NEWS PERSPECTIVE
To upgrade the school’s image, your new
superintendent decides that students will be required to
wear uniforms on campus.
The high school publication that decides to publish a
news story on this new uniform policy will need to
create an objective report emphasizing the timely
impact of the story for its readers.
WHAT IS NEWS WRITING?
• Reporting and writing the news is a means of
telling members of the public what happened when
they were not around to witness it.
• Everyone sees just a small slice of life in a given
place each day, and the journalist’s job is to
summarize the rest of the news that takes place in
communities all around the world.
WHAT IS NEWS WRITING?
• A journalist will first collect the information
carefully, accurately and fairly, then use this
information to write stories that are easily understood
by the audience.
• To do this, a journalist will often rely on a format
called the inverted pyramid, which has proved to be a
successful way to communicate news.

DETAILS
Tapos na ako sa panimula,
ano pa ang mga dapat kong
isinusulat?
TANDAAN AT PAALALA
• Ang bawat isusulat na talata ay
magkakaugnay. Ang tanging paraan lamang
dito ay paggamit ng mga pang-ugnay na salita
upang hindi malito sa daloy ng pagsulat.
• Huwag hayaang matatapos ang talata na hindi
ito naidurugtong sa susunod lalo na kung
hindi pa pangwakas na impormasyon
TAILING
THE NEWS

ko?

THE TAIL OF NEWS STORY
• Nakasalalay ang huling bahagi ng iyong balita
ayon sa mga datos na naisulat mula nang
matapos ang iyong panimula. Maaari pa ring
magamit ang TQ Formula.
• Sa bahaging ito nakalagay na lamang ang mga
maliit na detalye ng balita na maaari pang
abangan ng mambabasa o manonood.
