Critical Thinking

News - new substantial information, especially about current events.

Categorising news (Carol Fleming, 2005, pp. 5-6):

 Relevance - does it affect the audience?
 Simple - can it be easily told
 Predictable - journalists know what's going to happen
 Unexpected - unusual or rarely happens
 Continuing - how events go on to affect people
 Category - serious, light he\rted, human interest
 Elite people - think about famous/unknown people
 Elite nations - first world/third world
 Negative - bad news sells

Construct of a journalistic piece:

Inverted pyramid:

1. Important stuff
1. The main point of the story (intro usually around 18-20 words)
2. Second par elaborates on that
2. Less important stuff
1. Extra facts/best part of interview
3. Waffle
1. Background information

Building a story:

 Sentences need to be short, but cram as much information in as possible
 Each paragraph should be one sentence long.
 Cover the five ws, most of them should be in the first couple of paragraphs of the
story.
