Hard News Story

Hard News Stories

They usually start with a headline with the S-V-C structure, meaning it takes on a Subject-Verb-Complement structure, which helps to attract readers.There is the presence of a hook, and
the questions of who and what are answered.

This is followed by a summary lead, which expands on the headline and provide details. It also answers the questions of where, when, and how/why.

Then there are the main body paragraphs. They provide more details and elaboration on the 5W1H questions, as well as eyewitness accounts, interviews, as well as statistics, relevant events and background information.

Lastly, comes the final paragraph/ending. It connects articles to other pieces of news. There are also some quotes, relevant information, and in the case of crimes, contact information.
