A News Story is a Short Report on What People Were Talking About at the Time
A news story is a brief reporting of an event that happened or something that is happening in the world, and it is usually accompanied by an opinion. It can be critical, angry, passionate, satirical or neutral.
It must be written in an objective manner that is clear, precise and easy to read. It is important to write in a way that conveys the truth of the news report.
A good news story should be brief and not be more than 500 words long, generally speaking. This is so that it can be read quickly and still remain a complete piece of work. If you want to make it a little longer, consider using direct quotes, as this will ensure that the reader has a full understanding of the story.
