with material for a more

The headline should make the


reader want to read the article. It
should be short and concise. It
should capture what’s important in
the reportage. It shouldn’t be like a
“school paper title” such as “The
American involvement in the
Vietnam War”.

The lead should tell the reader


the most important news. How
can you write it in the clearest
way and make it interesting
too. Think about the five Ws:
when, where, what, why and
who.

The body is the paragraphs


between the introduction
and the conclusion. The
structure doesn’t have to
be chronological but it
should have a good
cohesion

The conclusion should bind


everything together and often
includes a reflection. Reflect
about the consequences of
the event and what it could
mean for the future
