UA-72902290-1 page contentsMost newspaper editors agree on a set of standards against which all events can be measured to determine their newsworthiness.

News is simply defined as an oral or written report of an event that happened, is happening, will happen in the East, West, North and South that is of interest to the reader and which should be reported. My tutor said that before starting to write a story for a newspaper, it would be helpful to give first some thought to what makes an event newsworthy. Some newspaper editors believe that reader interest is the key: readers should read about what they want to know in the paper. Other editors argue that newspapers should inform their readers about current events and de-emphasize negative or unsavory topics which interest many people, such as murder, violence and sex. So a news story, therefore, may be appealing to a particular reader for any or all of the following components:
But of all the elements mentioned above that make good and interesting news, it is the news reporter the most important element in delivering the news. His main job is to go out where the news is occurring, gather the facts of the event and write them up quickly and concisely.
