The 5Ws Of Journalism
- Who is the story about?
- What is the story about?
- Where did the story happen?
- When did the story take place?
- Why did it happen?
How has it been constructed?
Headline: The headline helps the readers to understand what the article is about. They are an important hook to capture the audience and encourage them to pain attention to the article. The use of the world "fears" entices the reader because anything negative does; "if it bleed it leads"
Intro: Like the headline, the hook should grab the audience's attention and encourage them to want to read the rest of the article. In the intro it says that Brandy's body will only be realized when a coroner is satisfied that his ashes will not be scattered on Saddleworth Moor. This short intro makes to easy for the reader to decide if they want to carry on with the article.
Focus: Journalists often present satires form a human interest angle. In this article, Brandy is absolutely the focus because it states his name in the headline. It talks about the parole he killed and about the funeral director that will be dealing with his body.
Narrative: The use of quotes in this article makes it more interactive and engaging because it adds a human aspects to it. Reveals information in such a way as to keep the reader interested but also to aid their understanding of what is going on.
Structure: In a news report is better short paragraph, and each one are used to develop the narrative of the story. in this article, the important info is that a coroner will not release Brandy's body until he is satisfied his ashes won't be scattered on the Moor.
