Elements of a news article
 headline: It catches your eye and sums up the story.

 byline: It tells you who wrote the article.

 placeline: It tells you where the story originated.

 lead: It is the first paragraph. It briefly gives the most important


information (5 W’s + H)

 body: It supplies additional information. Notice that the body is divided


into short paragraphs, each introducing a new piece of information.

 facts: Every news article includes simple, true statements about what
happened, such as “The burglar set off the bank alarm at 3:45 a.m.”
What else?
 vivid language: Journalists use words to create interest and make
you feel as if you saw the event yourself.

 quotations: These retell, word for word, what someone actually


said, adding accuracy and an “at-the-scene” feeling.

 photographs: These give a visual image of one aspect of the


news story.

 caption: This is the brief description given to a photograph,


usually including 5W’s.

 jumpline: This is a line at the end of the final column that tells
you where to find the rest of the story in a newspaper.
So what does it look like?
