    The document discusses the elements of news writing. It defines news as timely factual information that is meaningful to readers. The key elements that make something newsworthy are immediacy, proximity, prominence, conflict, significance, and human interest. Good news writers need qualities like being alert, multitasking, and having a nose for identifying news stories. There are different types of news articles, like straight news which reports just the facts, and feature news which can include the writer's impressions.
