 News Report?

News report is a type of texts

that communicates current
information. Newspaper articles
need to capture the readers’
attention with an attractive
headline that then encourages
them to continue reading.
 Organization of Ideas
The ideas organization in a
news report are divided in
three parts; lead, body
and conclusion. The most
important information is in
the opening paragraph,
which is supported by the
following paragraphs.
Information is presented in
a descending order of importance so the least
important part of the story is in the last paragraph.
 Tense and Person

Most news stories are written in the past tense while

headlines use the present tense (Present perfect
tense). Since consistency is a hallmark of journalism,
the past tense must be preserved throughout the
story unless there is a reference to future plans or a
past event. (M. L. Stein, 1985)
 Present Perfect Use

Present perfect is used to talk about the actions that

begin in the past and could continue in the present
or even in the future.

 Mapping the Digital Divide

The United States has long been the world leader in

creating and using the Internet. The U.S. Department
of Defense paid for the development of the
Advanced Research Projects Agency Network
(ARPANET) in the 1960s. It was the first network to
use Internet protocol. American engineers,
companies and consumers have pioneered advances
in networking, applications and content. Today,
nearly every American has a way to get on the
Internet.
The United States leads the world in the availability
of advanced wireless broadband Internet services.
The term broadband means high-speed Internet
access that is always on and can carry large amounts
of information. It is much faster than traditional dial-
up access. Broadband includes high-speed
transmission methods such as 4G LTE, wireless, fiber
and cable modem.
