    WHAT MAKES A GOOD

    NEWS STORY?
    KEY COMPONENTS OF A GOOD
    NEWS STORY
    • Attention-getting headline
    • A strong lead containing 5 W’s and H (who,
    what, when, where, why and how)
    • Use of quotes
    • Real Facts (truth and accuracy matter)
    • A strong summary
    • Organization of the news (presenting
    information from most to least important
    WHAT MAKES A STORY
    NEWSWORTHY?
    • Timing: If it happened today, it’s news, if
    it happened last week, it’s not; with 24-
    hour access, “breaking” news is
    important.
    • Significance: How many people are
    affected?
    • Proximity: The closer a story hits home,
    the more newsworthy it is.
    • Prominence: When famous people are
    affected, the story matters (i.e, car accident
    involving your family vs. a car accident
    involving the President)
    • Human interest: Because these stories are
    based on emotional appeal, they are meant to
    be amusing or to generate empathy or other
    emotions. They often appear in special
    sections of the newspaper or at the end of the
    newscast as a “feel good” story or to draw
    attention to something particularly amusing
    or off-beat.
