R25 - Making News


So... What is news??
 
News tells people what's happening around the world. When talking about it it's often something that people want to know, need to know and be of their interest
 
 
 
>  People must be watching, listening and reading the news
>  There needs to be a good mix of stories
   >  It should include local news as well as national & international     news 
   >  The stories should be chosen with the audience in mind
 

There are 6 steps to making the news:
-  Find
-  Gather
-  Write 
-  Assemble
-  Order
-  Broadcast
 
 
Where do the stories comes from? No not TV... 
To present news and talk about it, it must be found first which is the first stage. You need to look around, listen, talk to people (get more social!). You may commonly hear something in school or in the local area. Think about this; "what was the last thing i found out that makes me want to tell my friends.
 
When finding news it comes from places called 'sources'. It can be a journalist, press/news release, witnesses or people - such as experts, friends, neighbours etc. HOWEVER, when getting information from sources it is important to make sure it is TRUE and ACCURATE. For example, if 2 sources have the same stories told in the same way then it is probably true
 
 

  This shows examples of stories and why they are classed as 'news'
