1. Introduction: We might often read
the online news through mobile application or
a website every day. Even the news often comes to our smartphone trough
the notification. The news is interesting
because it has a title and thumbnail that interests us in reading. And usually the online news is Presented in brief
and concise writing, so we don't need to take much
to read the news. We will learn to read online news in this course, even though this applies to newspapers. , generally, people call
it straight news. Namely, the actual news is presented in short, concise, and clear writing. This course is for friends who wanted to learn
the right news. Online news, news for website
are reading newspapers. This course start
from the basics. Very suitable if
you want to learn. And I try to convey
the material simply. In addition, it is
equipped with, a writing practice demo,
so it will help friends understand
this course. We will learn the
structure of online news. After learning this structure, it helps us to write until it becomes complete news. But the most important thing
about this course is that. I will share the formulas, then we will understand
them together. They'll make it easier for
us to write new stories. It will be better to determine the news point of view or
news angle from those formulas, then we will create a lead
paragraph compose the body determine the title and choose a cover OR thumbnail photo. So, I'm Fathoni Ashari, Let's learn to write
straight news to get it.
2. Main Lesson: The main lesson,
before we write the news, we should learn some
essential things. First, we will understand the characteristic of hard news. Second, we will learn about
the structure of hard news. There are several parts that
we must understand, starting from the
title and news point of view or angle dateline leads. news bodies, quotes, and closing, third before we
starting writing the news. We must determine the news
point of view from the lead. It helps us to arrange the lead paragraph because in the news, the presence of the
lead paragraph is of significant importance
to make exciting leaders. We will learn to determine
the news point of view then tag delete with a formula. We will learn this formula
in more detail because the formula is a tool that
help us write news. I hope you can deepen the
formulas I will convey by
working on the project. Fourth, to learn the formula, we need to deepen the news
value and 5W+1H. Maybe friends had familiar with And the term we have W plus one edge and enough
Garcia already know it, but I will explain how they use and process it to
make a news story. At the same time, the news value is our benchmark for determining the writing angle
or news point of view. After learning all of that, we will immediately practice in the project that I have
given in this course, you can see the demo video writing the news that i
embeed from case 1. to case 3. We were study the structure
formula, news point of view, deadline, lead
and news value. 5W+1H, body, quote, and start writing news.
3. News Source: A new service is a report from event that has
news value from busy fan. We conducted interviews when the parties involved
for questioning from that interview with turn into linears, the
good interviews. If we can do direct interviews
with parties involved, for example, if there
is an accident, we journalists can interfere. Witnesses are
interviewing the police. We can find out the
condition of the victim. If he cannot communicate
with the victim, we can ask the doctor or the
person caring for defecting, try to do interviews within
the parties involved. Weekend conduct interview
witnesses involved. We can report what they say. For example, there is a
state dog bend precedent. We may not be able
to interview him. It could be the president
statement. Domain venues. Hard news can be
inseparable from the party's statement about who was involved in the event, what should we ask when we
want to do an interview?
4. News Structure: Online news structure. We often read news in
newspaper or online website. Then if we pay attention, the news consists of the photo, deadline, leads, news
body, quote, and closing. Let's break them
down one by one. The title also known headline, is what you want to
tell the reader. Usually taken from main issue. Although making the
title is very flexible, but we must avoid giving a deceptive title
or clickbait. We will learn to make
title in another section. Photo. A photo illustrates and event
in the news to the reader, readers would understand
the condition in the field. Not any photo can be
attached to the news. The good news is use of photo taken from the scene of the event. But we also use photo just for illustration and we will
learn in another section. The dateline is usually
found in the first-line, often the lead paragraph, the dateline write down
the region often bill, incident and the name
of the mass media. The proposes is to address the name of the media concerned The lead is one of the
crucial paragraphs It usually consists of
two or three sentences, but already contains
the most important. Of the newest. Readers
only need to read the lead. They have gotten the point
of linear must, therefore, leads is one of them the primary weapon
to engage readers, to seek more information
about the news. And we need more effort. The write the lead paragraph. Body. the news body is a continuation of
the lead that will explain in more detail
in paragraph in quotes. The news body often recognized in the
inverted pyramid formula. The writing in the
first paragraph, including the leads, is the
most important information. while going down the following
paragraph that explain more in the news of what
presence is also significant. Hard news is the
news that we get from an interviews to come from the information
which we convey. There must be statement from the source. The statement from the
interviewees are so legalization and
emphasizing the truth of the information, rewrite. That means we cannot
write down information beyond what was, convey
by the interviews. We cannot include
the writers personal opinion or argument in straight news. What is conveyed by the interviewees, then what is should write. Leg or closing in hard news actually
may exist or not, they are fair response. However, in the last section, the writers can provide
additional information. It can also be a
conclusion from the news. It could be an update
of ongoing information.
5. Deep Dive 5W+1H: Deep dive 5W+1H. When we come to the
location of an event, do an interview, we use will prepare a list of questions
for the interviewees. You can use the 5W+1H formula
to ask the question. In this session, we will explore what 5W+1H. So our question will
be to the point. Just ask what we need? Because hard news is short,
brief, and straightforward. Five W plus one h
consists of six elements, namely what, who, when, where, why, and how. Let's talk about
them one by one. The question of what
used to ask an event, what isn't even, what happened? What happened there? What is this really? We asked about the main
problem or what happened at the event, even though we
already know what happened, it doesn't hurt us to keep
asking the informants. Who the question of who to ask who was
involved in the events. For example, in a
traffic accident. We can ask who the victim is, who has hit the victims? Who assisted in the acident or hood takes
care of the victims. who question does not
only apply to people, but the question of
who can be directed to the institution or
organization or community, that caused the event the question of when is used to ask about occurrence
of an event. We can ask about the time of event relate to what
we want to write. For example, we want to cover that event
in concert music. We can ask what time it will hold. When does it, in this concept
start or when will it end? Time is critical for the
reader can know what happened. The reader can imagene even more clearly
with the prices time where the question of where
to us for missense location, especially when the
incident occurs, the question of where is essential to give
the reader an idea? if the events time, place, and location are known. It will be easier to
imagine in the reader, in reading the news, maybe you need to dig places
to reach your writing. For example, in the case
of a traffic accident, we can ask where it happened where it
is the victim now, where it is in which
hospital and etc. On the location related
on the parties involved should be asked us
much as possible. Why? The way element is used to ask the reason for
Occurrence of an event, such as motives, symptoms, and the background of
occurrence of an event. The why the element is essential
to explain to the reader that there
is recent behind the event. And the question of
why really needs to be asked even to be
as clear as possible. Because the especially in
the why and how elements will enrich the writing on
the body part of the news. Then last but not least, is the how element. The how element becomes
an explanation and describes the event. The how element is a news element with a
comprehensive discussion. Generally explain the
chronology of events from domain news and
condition in the field, wound up parties conditions.
6. Exercise 5W+1H: Friends in the slide
that I shared, there are two new
cases and that we will discuss to deepen 5W+1H The first case
news is a cargo ship that caught fire carying approximately four
thousand luxury cars. I chose this news
because maybe you have read the newest and I think this is news on a global scale. I mean that a lot of
people are reading. Maybe you have read and
already have an illustration. In sort of February 16, there was a ship fire in
the middle of the sea. The ship is named
Felicity Ace surprisingly, this ship was carying around 4000 luxury cars most
of luxury, cars are in danger
of being damaged. From this incident. We can deepen the 5W+1H with a question whose answer
maybe newsworthy. Of course, it will
have news value. But how to write the
news to have news value? Because this is only for demo. We can get interview
materials on the Internet. And let's discuss with the what element
in the what element, we can ask what happened. Asking about the
incident is very important even though you
already known that happened, but it never hurts to confirm with those
who knows better. Then we can ask what the ship was carying So, we know that this ship was carrying
for luxury cars. Then we can also
be curious about the brand of the car and
then what caused the fire. Moving onto the who element, we will ask who parties are directly or indirectly involved. For example, who
are the crews of ship, then who is the owner of music, are who is trying to serve
the grew up in the ship. We can still explore the parties involved then into when element, we can ask when did
incident occurred, then went element is also close to the term
timeline events. For example, the ship schedule. When did depart? When we'll ship arrive, when the ship started
to burn anyway, we can ask about
everything related to the time in the where element. We can ask what happened. Specifically in pricesly. What is the ship going? Anyway, it's about the place. Or it could be. where is the shelter for the crew? Where is the burning place? Everything has to do with the place. And the next in the way element, we usually ask for the
cause of incident. Where did the fire occur?. And the next and the last, how element becomes an element that explained the condition
related to the incident. How about the
condition of the ship? How about the condition
of this luxury cars? Until the condition of
the crew of the ship And it will be necessary if this condition can
be known information because the reader
ultimately wants to know the current
state of an event. My second case,
raised the news of a virtual concert But before we discuss, I will convey a disclaimer. If this news is fictional
and did not happen. I make it just for demo
purposes in this course, for a brief description. Three universities in Indonesia
are collaborating to hold the biggest virtual concert ever held
in the country. The concert raised the theme of recovering together
to be stronger, bringing messages to
recover from the pandemic and continue innovating
and building the country. Many performances
from the top singers even the event was welcome
by the President, Become a virtual concert with the
largest audience ever. Let's discuss the
elements of 5W+1H Then, later we will know how the news has
substantial news value. You can ask for time
for interviewees or even helped meet parties a
competent to answer questions. In addition to interviews, you can also make
observation by watching the show and seeing the process
of the concert going on. Let's get started on the point into what
element we can ask, what even is this ? we know this is a concept even for what is the
event being held, then what is the theme
raised in this concert? We can also record statements submitted when the people
interested in this event, such as statement from the
President Student representative and others
into who element. We can ask the parties involved in the concert
for an example, who organized the concept. Then we know that three
universities organized the concert then who is present? The concert will present by the top singers and
34 cultural performances And even the concert was remarked by president the presence President and 30
top singers here is engaging because they have strong news value. You can also who the
the main sponsor of this event, because it seems
a bit impossible. Even three universities held an event and maybe the university
could be in the organizer, but it seems unlikely
to come from the universities if
related the funding. Then we can ask who the main
sponsor on where element. We can ask which places
or venues to hold concert. If we are at location, we can explore and observe the place. where is the place for the invitees the platform, the audience and the platform
referrers performance. And there's still a lot we
can explore if we are at any location and good act when we take a picture from
the location to the photo, thumbnail or photo cover
In the when element, we can take advantage of new
populous concert schedule. Or we can ask when
the preparation is, since we went to
performance to rehearsals. Although this question is less potent than news value
at first glance, it can be a
complimentary on depart, of the news body
of paragraph. Next in the white element, we can ask many things. The why element is more likely to explain the equation
then the other elements, For example, way
take the theme, Why was the concert
held in this stadium? The way element can also
answer the question about which the public
may be worried. For example, why hot and an why hold an event in the
middle of a pandemic? Well, it can be met
the real to deepen because as journalists,
news writers, we also need to
represent what is felt by the community by
raising questionable issues. in the how element we can explain the condition
in the other elements, How's the preparation? How about the health protocol? So how is the security?
in this thing? are also important to ask explain the readers curiosity. After collecting the most
powerful and news element, we can use all
elements but choose. What we want to
write from which angle? Choosing an angle is adjusted To the purpose of the news being written
the news being right? What are the audience demographics? Or who is the target reader? Therefore, news value is significant, in choosing the
angle of a news story.
7. Understanding News Value: Understanding news value. We want to write news that
is interesting readers readers feel a need and want to
know about what we write. When readers read the title, their immediately appeal to
click and read the news. If the readers are not seen or click and the time maybe not be preferences or are not important on the
reader themselves. But keep in mind that every reader has
different preferences. Then news value plays a role
to writers in determining the news angle readers are very difference and have different
likes and preferences. So how do we get the
attention of readers? How do we process new
sources to have news value? In this session, we will
learn the news value. And this value is benchmark
and measure for journalists to assess whether an event is worth
reporting or not. News value also plays a
big role in determining the angle of the news to
have strong readers appeal. There are many news values along with the increase in
reader preferences. But by outline, there are several categories
of news value. Let's review them one
by one. Magnitude. Magnitude means the news impact the public on the
wider community. The more significantly
influence, the bigger the news will read. This means that news
will be interesting, even the event impacts
many people live. For example, news
about rising electricity process and rising food prices will impact
all levels of society. New soften the profit outbreak also has, a vast influence. It's different when we try to write news about
celebrity birthdays. The impact is not
felt by many people, maybe only people who know him. So the more impact that
brings in the news The more readers will read it. significance. The News must have concerns the interest of many people For example, in a pandemic situation, People are waiting
for the news about the policies government
during the pandemic. It will be less important if
if we instead write about the daily life of an actress working from home in the
context of a pandemic. Because that news is not wider important to the
public and community. And it will be great when
we read about soft news and give stories about the
daily life of the actress. Timeliness or actual. Straight News must be up-to-date. And actually in
terms of hardness, the latest news is more
important than the old news. The news and that happened
a few days ago will be less important than the news that happened a few hours ago. The actual news is essential. And this will be much more attractive to people
attention when the news is still hotly discussed recently
and it's happening. The more actual news, the highest value of the news the actual news value is kind
of similar to significance. Steal the actual news
value emphasize, which news should be write if
all of them are up-to-date. The artery actually categorise
the actual calendar, the actual time, and
the actual problem. I give an example
a country is busy talking about fossil fuels
that are becoming scarce. Everyone in the country feels the impact they are hard to get
fuel supplies all the media are busy reporting. Then the shortage of fuel becomes actual Any news related to fuel scarcity
would really like to read Although on the other hand, there is also a scarcity of fresh meat only in several areas. The shortages of fuel
should be more concern than the news of the scarcity of fresh meat
in some areas. Another example is when commemorating the
Independence Day of country, then all of the news will be rasing independent
day topic. But there was a theft
or robbery at that time the news will be
more valuable when the raising of
Independence Day topic. We always race with other media to read
in the news, even. So, we must try to write
up-to-date events. Proximity, The news we write has closeness to the reader. The reader feels curious to know because it may be located close to where the reader lives or the person on
the news famous. Broadly, three factors causes the closeness between
news and readers. Number one, geographical
factors, for example, the location of the incident, the news wich
closer location to the reader will be
more interesting. For example, a traffic accident, near the readers house
will be important. Another example is
that flood news that that occurs abroad will
be less interesting Then flood news in the
reader's environment. Number two,
psychological factors News will be
interesting to readers if it has similarities
with cultural interests, similar thoughts
and feeling with an object or event in the news. For example, is to news about the academic
achievement of students. One is your friend at the university and the other is student in
another country. We will be more interested
in reading news, about your friend in
the same university, which has something
in common with you. Prominence. Someone who has fame or influence will be
a source of news. This is present is often
called a newsmaker. Whatever they do or say
we'll make the news. For example, public
figures such as president, official, businessmen, artists
are community idols. The more famous person is, the higher news value. News from the statement
President will be more valuable. The news from ordinary people. That's because the
figure has a power and influence and is
trusted by many people. Conflict. News about conflicts that have an impact on society
will attract attention, such as tension in
society, war and chaos. Including conflict
between celebrities are including conflict between
actors are politicians, and conflict between countries. For example, the competition for president candidates
in the election events will have high in news value. The public will be
waiting for the news of the political maneuvers
of the candidate. Another example is demonstration by workers in front of
the Government Office. Of course, all
workers and employees in the content will be
waiting for the latest news. Or another example is
the conflict between the two celebrities who have
big fence and of course. the fans will become news
readers who always look for what the latest
news, human interest. Human interests tries to
dig the human emotion. We report events that
touch human feelings. When we read it, it causes
feelings of sadness, joy, emotion, and anger. Human interest tends to emphasize what is
experienced by the interviewees. that readers appears appears empathetic
or emotional when reading For example, news about victims of war, persecution,
slavery, and others. Not just empathy or anger, but also an experience
of interviews who inspire entertain or make
a positive impact. For example, we
feel a sad when we read the news about victims
of natural disaster, they live in refugee camps
and can only wait for help. On the other hand, we will feel happy and inspire when we read
the news that the victims of
natural disaster have receive help and are
in good condition. Unusual. Using that emphasize an
event that has strangeness, uniqueness, extraordinary
and unusual. Things that are unique, un-useful and
strength and courage. People will be curious and make people wonder how it could be. Because in the event is
not easily in conduct. In Everyday Life, desks events
will attract attention. Dog biting people is normal, but people biting dog is
extra ordinary. Another example, a 10-year-old child who is already
studying at the university. He is extraordinary. Even though these peers are
only in elementary school.
8. Fundamental Formulas: Fundamental formulas. After learning about 5W+1H
and news value, What's in the next step? Understanding 5W+1H and value is the core material
in news writing. we must understand
the gold effect, And we must understand to cultivate a
critical attitude towards events That's way we can see if
this event is newsworthy. What to ask if you
want to do interview. That's all because we have deepened and understood
the elements of news which are 5W+1H and news value. Later In this session, we will learn two main formulas for processing the interview
results obtained and then writing them into a news story. The first formula determines the angle of writing and
creates a lead paragraph. And the second formula is to compose the body or content of the news. Let's talk the first formula. Before writing news, we have learned that we must determine the news point of view. This will helps focus on the news topic that
we will write about, that our writing
is not out of topic. Reader will also feel comfy because they will get discussion according to the title from the news angle that
we have determined, it will help compile a lead We have learned that lead bar graph is
critical in the news. The lead must grab the
reader's attention. Therefore, in this
formula helps us in determining the angle and compiling a lead paragraph. How does it works? Let's review. You can pay attention
to the chart that I give the way to determined. The news angle is by
combining 5W+1H news elements and news values. We must also have
critical thinking about events or incidents. So we can understand which
news element is the strongest. and we can use it as
a news point of view. which one is the most powerful, which one sells the most, which one can grab the
reader's attention. Among the sixth element of
the newest, namely what, who and where it is usefully use as an angle from a new
story, for example, then suppose we choose what element will be
in the news angle, means the emphasising the event. Then we measure it
with and news value, Whether the angle we
choose newsworthily or not? Does the angle we choose
contain some news value? Does it contain magnitude, significance, actual,
or something else? After determining the angle, we can focus on the discussion
that we will write. Next, we will try to
compose the lead paragraph. The paragraph should be
catchy, punchy and surprising. The readers will pay
attention and be interested in reading
the paragraph below. The second formula is the inverted pyramid. Of course, friends are familiar with
the term and in the news puts the most
essential information in the first paragraph. So that readers immediately known the subject matter
in the news. usually the author puts in the lead and the second
paragraph the write. The important parts
usually consists of what, who, when and where elements. The four elements must at least be an under
first paragraph. If you think paragraph one still does not contain
these four elements. Writers can use two paragraphs to contain the four elements. Only later in the next paragraph emphasize the why
and how elements. In addition, statement from interviewees are also attached. Actually, quotes can be
embedded in it any paragraph, but at least the quote can be embedded after the
lead paragraph. Then the paragraph below it. Quote in the news
will enrich in the writing and
emphasizing the truth of the news with the two
formulas that we've learned, that becomes the primary
formula to write news. The next step is
composed in the lead. We must focus on the news
point of view we have chosen. For example, you have chosen from what news angle, which means that the lead can be started from
what elements.
9. Determined the News Angle: Determine The Right Of Angle You can see in the case
of cargo ship that catch fire on the slide for
us to review together. In that case, we have three points of view or a news angle on
that Choose form. The first angle is a felicity ace. cargo ship fires in
the middle of the sea. The reader will be
interested because, because of a
large cargo ship fire and must have had
a lot of losses. Even though the reader
doesn't know what the ship is carrying with it is already feel empathy
for the incident. At least it has news
value of significance, human interests and actual
because in addition to raising the readers
empathy venues is also actual in essential
for many people. Then the news that we will write
we will focus on the incident on the
ship that caught fire, the chronology, causes, and condition of the ship. cargo ships bringing 4000
luxury cars is goods. It remains an
important discussion, but still it is not subject of discussion
on the subject of paragraphs. In contrast, choosing the 4 thousand luxury
cars on a news angle. This news angle, we'll put 4 thousand luxury cars in
the domain discussion. People are curious upon the
condition of luxury cars. People really think
about what if the car is damage
or catch on fire? Then knowing from the title, if the ship is filled
with luxury cars people will be curious about
what cars aren't there. Knowing the type of car
is a significant value, people will feel
empathy for those who feel aggrieved,
by the incident. the news that we write Later discusses what luxury, cars are there? What is the amount exactly? What is the price of
every type of car? How much is the loss? and what is the response from
the parties involved? Even some enthusiastic readers will discuss the effects of losses in charge by the company and the
insurance company. The next news angle is from
the crew side on board. Friends can read news about the condition experienced
by the crew they have lot of information that can
be used and use complementary, like what they do when they
known there is a fire. What did they do to put
out in the fire and how and where they
save themselves. Actually in there are still many questions that
we can explore. the three news points of view
in this fire case will be crucial to writing news. It's just what the
media wants to raise the news from To deepen the selection
of existing angles, We will review and
amorphous news. This events is quite interesting for
deepen the news angle because many choices
can can be reviewed. In the case of this
virtual concert, we see there's some
important moments can be made in the news. In this moment will be
used as a news angle, the first is about
the event itself. That, there is a
virtual concept, held by the
three universities already contains news value. The news will be necessarily for students, academics
and even the public. They will feel amazed and
proud because there is sporadic cooperation between universities holding
virtual concert. Moreover, it's held
by a top university. Then the content of the news, we'll discuss the effect itself holding a concert
for what propose, why I bring up this theme, how do they manage
and preparation, their success, held the
concert, meanwhile, information such as the
performance of top singers cultural performance and even
the President remarks are complimentary to the news. Second, we can write
news from the WHO angle. Two parties have
substantial news value, namely in the presence
of the President and the appearance of
the top singers and 34
cultural performance. If we consider
writing hard news, the president's presence is stronger than the appearance
of 30 top singers. But if it's for soft
news and entertainment, the presence of thirties top singers have
substantial value. Therefore, we can write
in this news from the angle of the president's
presence at the event. But we can also write
straight news from the 30 top singers or
34 cultural performance news angle. The figure of the
president becomes very strong than
other figures. He has the value
of a news figure. Whatever his Statement will be essential to be
reported more often. In this news example, he is the one who
gave the speech. That will be written. A letter, is about what is the president conveyed
at the event? What are the needs often the president to
attend the event? What was the impression of the the president when
the event took place? Is the president enjoying it? Is he singing along? Is the applauding. Meanwhile, the information from other elements can be used
as additional information. For example, in the
President sing along with another person. Moreover, the
president seems enjoying the performance one of the singers. Then the third angle we can
review from the when element, the concert was held to coincide within the
countries independent day. This means that the event
will be intense because at the time the community was commemorating
Independence Day, Amid the euphoria,
a concert enlivened it And then it became
actual because it was held on the anniversary
of independent day. And many people will talk
about it. The concert became a virtual concert with the largest outdoor and
also has a news value. This means the concept
influencers in the community. The community feels
and the impact. So we can review starting from the success of the concert How many people are watching
via streaming services? How did they manage to attract
that much audience? Then you can also ask about in the audience response when
watching the concert. Further deepen how to
determine the angle. You can often compare which 5W+1H element is the
strongest because each places, has a different
demographic of audience. So the more you practice, the more critical you are in
determining the right angle.
10. Powerful Lead: In this session, we
will try to create a paragraph lead
by combining 5W+1H with news value. In the previous session, we have learned to determined the news angle, then we will make
a paragraph lead from the news angle that
has been determined. We start from case 1, we write the dateline. This format depends
on the policy of the website on the media It could be that news websites have different variation. The first paragraph start
from the what element. We can tell that the cargo ship catch fire in the
middle of the sea, then tell the location
of the fire followed by the day in date as part
of the when news element. Then we can also explained
ship ownership, which represent
the who element and the ship departure
scheduled for verification. The reader already
has an overview of the incident by reading
the lead paragraph, then the reader will be curious
about the cause of fire. In the second case, we try to write news about virtual cultural concert that have been read in outline, in the previous session. We take the point of view of the event that three of universities hold virtual concert in the
Independence Day because the three universities are working
together to hold a concert, it has news value. Then depart from
the who elements. As usual, we write
down the location of news and news website
that publish it. Then we can write it down
and the lead by directly appointing three
top universities to hold a virtual concert. Then also list who the
performance will appear. Also weren't the course
will take place. that way. It has become a lead bar graph that will given
idea to the reader knowing the guestar
and there's a concert of hosted by this, and it's
being held here. Because in the previous case, the president's presence
is essential to report. It's also following the
news value of figure. This means that whatever the
president's statement at, in an event, it will be
important to be reported. In this case, we are
trying to raise the news, of the the President attending
a cultural concert. This means that our angle is focused on the President
presence at the event. In the lead we can write
that the President's attended a virtual concert at the Jakarta
International Studium, then the result will be curious, why is the President there?
still in lead We can convey the main purpose
of President being there, which is to give appreciation
and at the same time. Give a speech. In the delete. We can
write that the president attended a virtual concert and be gentle to
international studium. Then the retailer
will be curious, why is the President there?, still in the lead. We can convey the
main purpose of the President being there, which is to give appreciation and at the same
time give a speech.
11. Arrange the body: This time we will try
to orange and the news from delete during the body to
become completely hard news. The first case is
in the news about burning a cargo ship, net
carriers, luxury cars we try to present it from the fire of the ship's angle. So our focus on the
ship fire incident. we have made it in the previous session for the lead paragraph. Just continue. Let's just
move to the next paragraph. In the second paragraph. In the second paragraph, we can begin to
answer the question of how is the chronology We can write a fire started on Wednesday morning in one room and then spread to another room. And we need statement from the ship's crew who saw the
fire to include the quote, The quote is important to
emphasize the news. Then in the next paragraph, you can write what the
following action will be, the crew and then
called for help. So in the Portuguese soldiers
immediately tried to save. In the next discussion, we can write upon the
updated condition. It can saying that in
the fire was difficult to extinguish because
there was a task. Then need to be careful
in extinguishing. Since we have already mentioned luxury cars in the lead, we can write down the
condition of these luxury cars. So in this paragraph, we can discuss luxury cars how many luxury cars are transported. Of course, readers will be
curious what kind of luxury, cars is it. And then as a closing we can, write down additional
information in the form of
departure schedule, the new destination location. Or you can also write down how much was lost from the fire. I should be able
to deepen again, but I think it's enough for demo. Let's move on to the next case. In the next paragraph, we will clarify
how the organizer is because it mentioned the event organizer
in the lead paragraph. After knowing who
the organizers are, they usually want to know and
an overview of the event. So we can start from one theme
was raised and the event, and they strengthen
the statement of work from the
organizer is needed. We know that holding a cultural concert in the context of Independence Day
carries the theme of recovery together to be stronger after knowing the intent
and purpose of the event. We can also write down how
the event took place. Maybe because necessarily
is going for a long time. We can tell apart on the event. For example, when
you go and start, start who will appear that
the concept of earning, suppose we are who will
appear at the concert. We can also represent
the readers question. What was the committee's
statement if was held
during a pandemic? What if a lot of
people come to watch? Or what about the health
protocols in the stadium? This question are
very likely to arise in the reader's mind
and the answer from the committee
will valueble to write on the
news. In the end. We can also provide information outside of news angle, but it is not less critical. In example, the concept
will be attended by the President who will
give a direct speech. This is useful to attract
readers attention. Look for news of the President's
arrival at the concert. And of course, it
becomes a substantial news value if it's announced
and the President's arrival. In the second paragraph, then there will
undoubtedly be curious about what kind of response was
convey by the president then we can describe the important points that
the president conveyed are. The President emphasized
helping each other. Furthermore, the precedent
express is gratitude to the community for
being willing to study and work at home. Breaking the chain
of transmission. It is giving appreciation for the implementation of the
virtual concert event. In addition, it gives
direction to all people. Then at the end, we can write down
additional information such arrival time and the time of anyone
who accompanied him, That's more or less the
news demo this time.
12. Title and Photo: Title and photo. The title is one of the
most important structures on the news. Because the title might be
hard to write or might be very easy for other people. But, writing a title that interests and gain the reader's
attention is hard. We must pay attention
in some way. So in this section, we will learn how
to make the title. Briefly, the title is usually taken from
the lead paragraph. If we feel difficult
to make a title, we can see in the paragraph
lead to reference. We must be aware of
several requirements to make the title.
Consist of provocative brief, and concise, informal, representative,
and use standard language. Let's discuss them one by one. Informal means, avoiding
the title that seems rigid, cold, like on
the research paper, but use informal sentences that are interesting
and attractive. The last is to use
standard languages in order to easy to
understand reactors. Apart from the above, there are several things that
we can avoid in writing Titles. Don't use information that
is not in the news that, The title must represent the main
idea in the lead paragraph. And avoid ambiguity, double meaning, and
double interpretation. Photo become very important to
be embedded in the news Without the photo,
the information we write will not live. Readers cannot know clear illustrations and even can be accused
of writing fake news. A good photo is a photo
that can tell a story this means that people who see the photo can describe
what happened. So when readers see
photos and read news, they will have a
more robust picture of the information we write. So the role of the photo
becomes essential as evidence that the
incident happened However, not all photos we take from the location can be
embedded in the news. Several criteria
must be considered so that the photos we take can provide clear and
helpful information. It would be great if you
could take photos of the scene That means the photo is valid and can be accounted
for its authenticity. The reader, we believe
in our writing, and the reader will have an
idea of the events at the location. Photos must capture the objects and
subjects in the location. for example, in the event of traffic accident,
photos taken can show the condition of a damaged car and some of
the surrounding environment. It will be stronger if the
photo shows the the authorities, For example, officers, police, evacuation teams, etc. For another example,
when covering a concert, we can take a picture of a singer complete with
a stage background. But it's better if you
can take a photo of singers went into interacting or singing along
with the audience. From the picture,
the singers can interpret that the
concert was lively. Singers and audiences are close and can sing together with or without distance.
Photos must pay attention to
the composition You don't need to take photos with professional
techniques, but it will be nice in the picture we take
considering the composition. That means in the subject, object and background have a proportional and balance size. Like writing, taking
photos will be easier to learn if you try right
away or practice a lot.
13. Practice Section: Practice session. In this session, friends, you can do a
simulation practice of writing news in the form
that I have attached. The goal is to improve
news writing skills. How to write a news angle? How to write leads? All of which will be
easier to sharpen if you do the exercises often. Because I think it takes practice to
sharpen our analysis. For example, dosing
which news angle has the strongest news value. So that readers are more interested in the
topic that we raise. It also sharpens
how to write exciting leads. Because the paragraph
lead is very important, It needs special attention
when writing the paragraph. In this form, there is already in the
structure of the news from the title to
the leg. So this session we'll rewrite the news. Or if you can find events around you that can
be made into news. That's even better. If not friends, you can
rewrite the popular news in your respective places of residence. Then analyzed
and rewritten. First, you find events
or news that are hot around you. Then read the whole story from
one news source and several media. To get references from various
points of view. Then analyze the news with 5w+1h.
Once analyzed, find a news angle that has news value.
Among the news values, choose the most powerful
or attract readers. After determining
the news angle, start writing the
lead paragraph. The rest, friends you
can arise in the body like the example in the
case two case three.
14. Final Thought: Friends, we are in the closing
session of this course. There are a few additions and
some points I would like to convey. to get better
at writing news, especially hard news
and stright news. You have
to Practice choosing news value. Because news value helps
determine news that deserves to rise or news that doesn't deserve to rise. Then practice determining
the news angle, so, that the topic or the theme of the news news focuses on
the main discussion. practice writing a paragraph
to attract readers attention when they
start reading the news. By practicing the point above, friends can be more critical
in responding to the news. Friends will be
more sensitive when choosing the right
topic or a news angle, if possible, direct coverage to the field for looking
news will be perfect. Friends can immediately apply it. The writing results can be sent
to the news media to be offered. Who knows, It can be published
and friends can get feedback from the press
media about your writings. But for practice,
friends can recreate the news that is currently
hot around you. Recreate by choosing
your own news angle, your own news lead,
and your own title. Thank you for
