JOURNALISM 5
Malinao (2008) also attemted to define news by pointing out that news is
basically about an event, idea or a reaction that is presented factually and simply
in written form to give the reader an idea of what is currently happening around
him or her, particularly on matters of interest to the community.
From all the definitions above, news can be coined by stating that it is a
timely reportage of events, regardless of time and manner, which are grounded on
facts. It considers nearness, importance, impact, and interest to the public.
ELEMENTS OF NEWS
1. Prominence – deals with persons, places, things, and situations which are
familiar to or of importance to the reader. For campus papers, prominent
personalities include the Supreme Pupil Government(SPG) president, the
principal, the pupil who won in a national/international competition and
the like.
2. Proximity – is the nearness of the event to the readers. In the context of
the news in the school for pupils in Tuguegarao what is happening to
Tuguegarao West Central School will be of interest to them than what is
happening to Gattaran East Central School.
3. Immediacy – refers to the timeliness of the event. For instance, the
pandemic COVID 19 is more appealing to the pupils raher than the news
about SARS.
4. Oddity – is an unusual or deviation from the normal course of events like
a pregnant man, bearded woman, a twenty-eight –year-old pupil who has
just graduated in elementary, and others which are newsworthy.
5. Human Interest – deals with events which are appealing to the emotions.
An example of this, a grandfather repairing shoes along the sidewalk for
supporting his eight grandchildren, an orphan supporting his own self at an
early age, and others that touches the heart.
6. Conflict – deals with any disagreement between man and his fellowman,
man and nature, or man and himself.
7. Names – involves newsworthy people like those who pass the board
examinations or win a contest.
8. Numbers and Statistics – results of sweepstakes, raffle draws, vital
statistics of celebrities, cases of COVID-19 positive, deaths and recovered
and even peso-dollar equivalent make good news.
9. Romance and Adventure – “”Love makes the world go round,” so a song
says. Hence, stories about love, including adventure, especially among
celebrities and prominent people can arouse/ignite reader’s interest.
10. Significance – refers not only to the importance of the event but also of how
it will affect the readers. In the campus setting, topics that are highly
significant include new rules imposed by the administration or the pupil
government, upcoming big events/ projects, results Philippines Science
Entrance Examination and the like.
12. Animals – especially those unusual ones are also newsworthy like a dog sent
for an errand because its master is sick or cannot do the job.
13. Calamity – newspaper pages devote stories and photos describing casualties
caused by earthquake, typhoons, and other disasters.

JOURNALISM 5
The Lead
The lead is the story’s opening sentence or two. In straight news, it tells the
most important facts of the story. In feature article or news feature, it could be
a word, a phrase, a sentence or a paragraph that attracts and sustain the reader’s
interest.
Lead in a news story, particularly in straight news, needs not to be too long.
Classification of Lead
2. Summary lead. It answers the five Ws and one H (What, Who, Where, When,
Why and How). The story is presented using the inverted pyramid from where
the most important data are in the first and second paragraph. This is used in
the straight news.
3. Novelty lead. It attracts the reader’s attention, arouse his curiosity and sustain
his interest. It is used in writing a news feature or a feature article.
2. Who lead – used if the most important angle of the news is the person
involved is more significant than the event
Example:
Mayor Lito Atienza yesterday has urged Manilenos to put up colorful
Christmas decors to promote Manila as destination for best shopping
bargains.
16
3. Where lead – used if the location where the event take place is more
significant than the other aspects of the news
Example:
At the Commission on Higher Education Central Office yesterday, the
Board of Trustees of the Batanes State College approved the new grading
system which will take effect next semester.
4. When lead – seldom used lead because this is only used of time element is
more important than the other angles of the story
Example:
February 14, 2006 is the deadline for the submission of the nomination
forms of the Metrobank Foundation Search for Outstanding Teachers.
5. Why lead – used if the cause of the event is the most effective angle of the
story
Example:
To bring the services of the government at the doorstep of its
constituents, Sangguniang Panlunsod of General Santos City yesterday
launched the “City Hall sa Barangay.”
6. How lead – used if the process or the manner of how the event happen is more
important than the other angles of the news
Example:
By installing more closed-circuit cameras in Manila malls, sending out
guards with dogs and setting up checkpoints police acted on the warning of
the senior official of a possible terrorists’ major attack in the capital following
a ferry bombing in Zamboanga City that killed 30 people on Monday.
2. Descriptive lead. It illustrates a mental picture of the subject to the reader. This is
effective in writing a personality sketch.
Example:
The night fell as we descended from the summit of Mount Makiling.
Darkness covered the mountain. The cicadas were sending us off with their choir.
While walking, we couldn’t imagine the possible appearance of Maria Makiling
who, according to legend, is the goddess of this mountain. We were expecting her
along the trail or under the trees in her white dress, as we remembered Rizal
describing her fabled beauty in one of his books. The goddess “disappointed” us,
however.
3. Quotation lead. It illustrates a mental picture of the subject to the reader. This is
effective in writing a personality sketch.
Example:
“You stole the presidency, not only once but twice.”
Shouted Susan Roces, widow of Fernando Poe Jr., during a gathering of the
opposition, denouncing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s alleged vote
rigging during the 2004 election.
5. Teaser. A device to deceive the reader in a jesting manner to aroused his curiosity
and gently leads him to into the story. It is generally short, crisp and witty.
Riddles are often used and they do not give the readers any glue on the nature of
the story. They are mostly suggestive and humorous.
Example:
Which comes first, the hen or the egg? Well, egg could not be made possible
without the hen. But where does the hen come from?
8. One word lead. It uses a very significant word to capture or arouse the
interest of the reader.
Example:
Sprinters from the different divisions of Region XII zoomed like bullets
to the finishing line in a 100-meter dash during the Cotabato Regional Athletic
Association (CRAA) Meet, held at Antonio C. Archaron Sports and
Development Center, Calumpang, General Santos City on April 1-5, 2005.
11. Freak lead. This kind of unique lead uses typographical effects to enhance its
appeal.
Example:
Wanted: Filipino doctors and nurses.
This is the appeal of several government-owned hospitals, which face
closure due to the exodus of many Filipino doctors and nurses abroad.
Example:
Less than 3 years ago, two college friends decided to build a website to
exchange their favorite videos.
Today Your Tube is owned by Google and gets over 25 million unique
visitors to the site each month.
1. Swimming was prohibited at Navarre Beach Tuesday after a dangerous amount of sea lice
was found in the water last week. Okaloosa County health officials declared the Gulf
Coast off limits because ingesting the water can make people, particularly children and the
elderly, sick.

JOURNALISM 5
Generally, attribution means using a source’s full name and job title if that’s
relevant. Information from sources can be paraphrased or quoted directly, but in
both cases, it should be attributed.
You can use attribution for both spoken and written information, so that you
attribute information gathered from interviews, speeches, reports, books, films or
even other newspapers, radio or television stations.
ATTRIBUTION STYLES
1. On the record: All the statements are directly quotable and attributable,
by name and title, to the person making the statement. This is the most
valuable type of attribution. This is where attributive verbs like “according
to” come in useful. They communicate the meaning that the quoted
statement is the opinion of an individual, and not a fact.
4. Off the record: Information is for the reporter’s use only and is not
published. The information also is not to be taken to another source in
hopes of getting information.
Rule # 2: Use attributive verbs carefully. The best way to attribute a statement is
to say “The subject said”. The verb “said” is neutral. It does not imply
any meaning. However you cannot use the verb said for every attribution
in the story. Your writing becomes repetitive and monotonous. You have
the option to use alternatives such as “stated” or “referred to” or
“according to”.
Rule # 3: Sifting fact from opinion. As a reporter, you meet scores of people
everyday. Each one tries to pass off their grievances, likes, dislikes as
facts to you. You have to be careful how you attribute such statements in
your report.
Rule # 4: When not to attribute. There are times when your source does not want
to be identified. In such cases, do not blow the cover of your source
especially if the disclosure may harm the source.
Rule # 5: Off the record stories. These are the most difficult to report. There are
some sources that smartly drop a bombshell after the interview is over
with the request that it should be treated as “off the record”.
