How do you write a Newspaper??? ?

Question

HELP PLZ??!! I am taking AP US History this year and I need to write a newspaper on the events leading up to the civil war as summer homework. How do I write an editorial, a Human interest story (quasi biography), birth notice, marrigde? Also maybe a little help on how to write the articles (like what goes in them to make them newspaper articles and not essays). I REALLY need the help, and would be forever grateful for any help on this. Please be as detailed as possible, but make it simple enough I could understand (I have a 1track mind XD step by step helps the most XD) THANK YOU!!!

Answer 1

okay  it is simple  ... everything starts with Who-What-When-Where and Why...

Take a subject relating to your article . For each subject,event place etc... apply the W5.. you shouldn't have any problems if you follow this age old system . It is the basic system for all investigation agencies and news papers too

Good Luck   but I know it isn't luck .... it's just a lot of blood ,sweat ,and tears.. Then comes the satisfaction of the end result :-)

Answer 2

news papers are not written they are printed

Answer 3

The opening paragraph should tell the reader what you are going to tell him - in a nutshell.

Subsequent body of the story should elaborate clearly but with economy of words.

If editorial, more detail, author's views and a short recap

are in  order.
