Newspaper Article
While writing newspaper articles, one should try keeping it crisp, sharp and clean.
It should be brief and comprehensible.
It should be written to the point and relevant to the context.

Any news piece has to follow the prime questions, before becoming a newspaper article and such questions are:
- What’s the news?
- Where did it happen?
- Who is involved?
- When did it happen?
- Why did it happen?
- How did it happen?
Now based on the prime questions, let’s write an article.

Where did it happen? Boston Public School
Who is involved? Students, teachers, parents, chief guests
When did it happen? 9 th July 2019
Why did it happen? To honour chief guests and appreciate students.
How did it happen? With lots of applause and awarding laurels.
Whatever is the article about, it mainly contains great structure to have a clear understanding for the readers.

FCAT Home > Practice Tests > The Inverted Pyramid Newspaper Article Site Map The Inverted Pyramid Newspaper Article Newspaper reporters arrange most of the articles they write in what they call an inverted (upside-down) pyramid. An inverted pyramid story looks like this: They put the most important news at the beginning and then include the less important details as they write. These skillful writers try to put the who, what, when, where, why, and how (5 W's and H) at the beginning. They call this part the "lead." Then they add the rest of the details in the order of their importance. The least important information they put at the end.
