 News Report, Informative
Speech, and Panel Discussion
News Report
 They are based on facts, data, or
information found in newspapers and
intended to inform readers of what is
happening in the country and in the
world.
Parts of a News Report or News Story
that appear on newspapers:
 Headline – tells what the story is about.
It is also a brief statement that catches
the attention of the readers about an
incident

 Byline – shows who
wrote the news story
 Lead – tells the most important
facts which answer the 5 W’s & H.
The information answering some of
these questions must be in the
opening sentences of the article.
 Body/Explanation– contains
more information and details.
This section may also include
direct quotes from witnesses.
 Additional Information/ Ending –
contains the least important
information which gives the readers
something to think about.
 The Inverted
Pyramid
News is written from
the most interesting to
least interesting facts
or data. When done
this way, the reader can
decide whether to
finish the article or
stop reading the entire
story.
Informative Speech
 An informative speech aims to educate
the audience on a particular topic. It may
describe the status or conditions of a
certain subject or may give directions on
how to perform an action or a task.
The main objective of an informative
speech is to provide enlightenment
on a specific topic the audience has
no idea or little knowledge about.
The topics included in an informative
speech should help the audience to
understand a subject better and to remember
what they learned about. Providing the
information in a variety of forms such as
using visual aids during the speech may
increase the chance of retaining the
information in the audience’s mind.
Panel Discussion
 A situation in which a group of people are
gathered together to discuss an issue, often to
provide feedback on something, to brainstorm
solutions to a problem or to discuss an issue
of public concern in front of an audience. It
also refers to a live, in-person or virtual
discussion about a specific topic among a
selected group of experts who share opposing
perceptions in front of an audience.

Presentation Style

with each of them
presenting the
