News Article Structure and Components

POINT OF VIEW
Definition: The perspective from which a speaker or writer recounts a narrative or
presents information. For your article…
 Who is writing the article?
 What is their attitude towards the character and situation?
SLANT and BIAS Definitions:
SLANT -the point of view taken by a writer or editor of a newspaper. (The writer or
editor selects and arranges facts to express a particular slant, or point of view, on a
story. Slant is not always a conscious choice. It may be a reflection of the writer’s
education, upbringing or cultural expectations.)
BIAS- Bias is evident when the opinions or prejudices of a journalist are included
in a story in an attempt to influence the reader. (Bias may be evident in what is
reported, as well as what is left out. Bias is a conscious choice on the part of the
writer.)
 What is the difference between the two statements below?
 What slant/bias is evident in each case?

*More than 900 people attended the event.

*Fewer than 1000 people showed up.

MASTHEAD
Definition: The title of the newspaper.
For your article… Remember you are writing for a Filipino newspaper.

2
A Headline
- It is the title of the article.
- It should be catchy and grab the attention of your readers.
Examples: “Assassin Kills Kennedy!”
“Zombies Take Over the City.”

A Photo
- will relate to the Headline of the News Report illustrating characteristics of the
story.

A Byline
- Is the name of the person who wrote the report. Remember, when you write your
own News Report you will use your own name.

A Place Line
- Where the report is written. The place the report was written depends on where
the incident took place.

A Lead Paragraph
Body Paragraph(s)
Quotation(s)
The first paragraph of the article. In the lead Paragraph you must include the 4
W’s:
WHO: Who was involved in the incident?
WHAT: What exactly happened?
WHERE: Where did it happen?
WHEN: When did it happen?

Example Lead Paragraph

Yesterday, Joe Brown was shocked to find a rare bird in his backyard in Brampton.
-The second paragraph of the report explains HOW and WHY the incident
happened.
- In the third paragraph you will need to include at last one quotation from
someone who was part of the incident and who was interviewed of the report.
- In the last paragraph you will include any additional information the reader may
want to know.

3
PHOTO and CAPTION
-You must include a photo and caption with your article. Choose something
specific to your article. Write a creative and informative caption to describe the
photo.
QUOTATIONS
You must use quotations throughout your news article. Remember a quotation
is direct speech from someone.
For your article, you can make up your quotations – think about what each
character would think and/or feel.
A TAG comes before or after a quotation and states who the speaker is and their
role.
Tags After Quotations
“Duke Orsino is such a romantic guy,” said Curio, a local citizen. “I have always
been a sucker for flowery language and a clean-shaven face,” admitted Olivia, an
Illyrian countess.
Tags Before Quotations Orsino’s servant, Valentine, said, “It was starting to get on
my nerves how much Orsino loved Cesario.” One of Olivia’s jesters, Feste, stated,
“Malvolio had it coming.”
Remember…Try to use different words for “said” throughout your article.
News articles are in past tense. Always include who said the quotation and their
role.
You can use quotations to help show slant and bias in your article.

News Article explains a real-life event; it presents a lot of information but does not
use a lot of words.
