Quarter 2 – Week 1
NEWSWRITING

(DEFINITION, ELEMENTS & INVERTED PYRAMID)

Background Information for Learners


Ceciliano Jose Cruz, in his book, Campus Journalism, defines news as a
timely and factual narration of past, present and future event. This could be
presented through oral, written, or visual medium. It is oral if the medium used is
the radio, written if it is through newspaper, magazine, and other reading
material, and visual if it is through television, movie and online/internet.

According to Soriano,et al(2012), a news is any oral, or written report of


an event that happened, is happening, will happen in the North, East, West, and
South(NEWS) that is of interest to the reader and which should be reported.

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.

Another perspective about news is given by Estrada and Singh (1987),


news is a timely factual report of events, ideas, or situations interesting or
significant to people.

Additional viewpoint, is also written by Puig and Flores(2005), news is


any information that is significant to a particular set of readers.

Another pair of Filipino journalist writers, Soriano


and Henson(1999), news is a reportage of accurate facts, events,
and ideas that interest a large number of readers. Anything that is
refreshed or regenerated is also news.
2

Lastly, Pangilinan (2012) provides another definition which goes, “news is


information that has a meaning for a set of readers.” Hence, the bases of all news
are facts, interest, and readers.

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.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


3

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.

11. Development - any progress like putting up of schools, buildings, bridges,


newly donated laboratory equipment from alumni abroad, and the like that
could be news items.

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.

Advantages of the Inverted Pyramid:


1. It facilitates reading. By just reading the lead, one can already get the
news he wants to know.
2. It facilitates newspaper’s makeup. In case of lack of space, the layout
editor can strike out or delete the least important paragraphs at the
bottom, because the most important facts are on top.
3. It facilitates headline writing. Copy editor can already prepare the
headline of the story from the lead.

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


Quarter 2 – Week 2
Lead Writing

Background Information for Learners

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.

Kinds of Summary Lead


1. What lead – used when the event is more important than the person involved
in the news
Example:
Landslides and floods brought by heavy rains in Southern Luzon have
killed at least five people, as soldiers on rubber boats rushed food and relief
supplies to nearly 200,000 affected officials said yesterday.

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.

Kinds of Novelty Lead


1. Narrative lead. It draws the reader into the story by allowing him to relate himself
with the character of the story.
Example:
December 1999. With the Y2K scare and end-of-the-millennium jitters
hovering in the air, I found myself in a bookstore for some last minute shopping. I
was looking for the abridged versions of the classic Heidi and the Secret Garden to
give to my nieces when I saw vaguely familiar title on the shelves:
The Lady or The Tiger and Other Stories. As I traced the embossed titles with my
right index finger, a particular memory flooded my consciousness.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


17

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.

4. Question lead. A thought-provoking question to capture the interest of the reader


and lead them to find the answer provided by the succeeding details of the article.
Example:
When was the last time I told my father I loved him?
I wish I could tell him a thousand times how much I love him now, but he is
already heedless inside the coffin.

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?

6. Punch lead. It is short, striking one-sentence lead.


Example:
Hungry farmers are selling not only their carabaos, but also their children.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


18

7. Astonisher lead. It uses an exclamatory sentence.


Example:
Champion of District 1! Better look your best this week!

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.

9. Parody lead. It consists of a parody of a well-known quotation, song, poem,


book or movie film title.
Example:
“You only live once, but of you live right, once is enough.”
This familiar adage proved true to Charlito Colendrez, a priest who
died while rescuing his parishioners at the height of flooding in Infanta town
in Quezon last year for he was posthumously for his godly bravery.

10. Background lead. It describes an event in which background overshadows


the individuals who participate in it; often use of stories about carnivals,
festivals, dances and others.
Example:
It was like the school was put in a time machine and was led back to
the past, when teachers and students who participated in the culmination
program of the Buwan ng Wika, gathered in front of the four-story building
garbed in old Filipiniana costumes.

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.

12. Contrast lead. It is used to point up opposites and extremes.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


19

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.

13. Staccato lead. This usually consists of a series of a service of words or


phrases, punctuated of our forest today.
Example:
Neglected. Denuded. Abused. And abandoned. This is the real picture
of our forest today.

Reasons for using Novelty Lead


1. To enhance the readability of the newspaper.
2. To arouse the reader’s interest.
3. To add vigor and color to writing.
4. To challenge the ability of the writer.

When to use Novelty Lead?


1. When you have some facts, which are not entirely straight news.
2. When you have some facts, which may be made much more interesting by a
novel way of expressing them.
3. When the use of the novelty lead seems natural, appropriate and unrestrained.
4. When the purpose of your lead is to arouse the reader’s interest.

Tips on How to Write an Effective Lead


1. Use a simple sentence.
2. Do not overload the beginning paragraph with the answers of five Ws and one

SOURCES OF NEWS

Background Information for Learners

PRIMARY SOURCES OF NEWS:


1. BEAT. The beat is the stable assignment of the reporter. For instance,
in a school setting, the chief editor or the adviser is identifying
assignments for the writers. Jane, a news writer is assigned to gather
news from the student body. Jane’s beat is the student council only;
thus, what she concentrates on is only issues about the student body.

2. WRITTEN AND PRINTED DOCUMENTS. A good journalist is


resourceful in looking for newsworthy issues. One of his/her sets of
sources includes public documents – either electronically or physically
posted. For example, if he/she is gathering data for the newly imposed
rules on wearing the prescribed uniform, he/she may look into the
minutes of the meeting or the resolution where such rules are
inscribed.

3. OBSERVATION. This may be done through a keen empirical


observation. It exists as a writer bears witness using the physical
senses to what is happening in the local communities.

4. TIPS FROM CO-WRITERS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS.

5. GANTT CHART OF SCHEDULE OR CALENDAR


OF ACTIVITIES.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


42

6. INTERVIEWING KEY INFORMANTS. This is the gathering of


information on a person-to-person basis, straight from the experts or any
resource person as a credible source.

SECONDARY SOURCES OF NEWS:


1. BLOGS. Blogs offer alternative points of view to traditional media.
Blogs provide an additional outlet for reporters to explain why they
reported a story in the way they did. There are blogs devoted to all sorts
of topics.

2. CITIZEN JOURNALISM. Ordinary citizens become amateur


reporters. This trend is facilitated by digital and cellphone video cameras
and high speed internet access. It is popular with the mainstream news

LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET


Quarter 2 – Week 5
Attribution in News Stories

Background Information for Learners

Attribution is essential in all media, including radio and television. It is a key


element of news writing.

To a journalist, attribution simply means telling your readers where the


information in your story comes from, as well as who is being quoted. This can
come in different ways, including quotes to paraphrasing.

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

Melvin Menchor, journalism professor outline four distinct types of


attribution in his book, News Reporting.

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.

2. On the background: All statements are directly quotable but can’t be


attributed by name or specific title to the person.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


55

Example: “We’re preparing for the non face-to-face school


opening,” the DepEd Secretary explained.

3. On deep background: Anything that is said in the interview is usable


but not in a direct quotation and not for attribution. The reporter writes
it in their own words.

Example: Non face- to-face school opening will be observed this


coming October 5, 2020.

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.

RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN ATTRIBUTING TO A SOURCE:


Rule # 1: Use attribution in as many stories as possible. The best way to build
the readers’ trust is to identify the source. The identification should be
complete, and should include the name and designation of the individual.
It is important to establish the competence of the subject to comment on
a story.

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”.

PRACTICE HYGIENE PROTOCOLS AT ALL TIMES


56

IMPORTANCE OF ATTRIBUTION:

1. It prevents any fraud, infringements and helps the writer be clear and precise about
their data.
2. It helps your reader, listener or viewer learn where the information has come
from.
3. It invites the readers and viewers to find the sources for themselves

Learning Competency with Code:

Identify the different styles of attribution in news story( SPJ5NEW-IIgh-19)


 Explain the importance of attribution in news story
 Use attribution styles appropriately and effectively in writing news stories

ACTIVITY 1: FACT OR BLUFF


Directions: Read and understand the statements carefully. Write FACT if the statement
is correct and BLUFF if it is incorrect.

______1. Any time the information in your story comes from a source and not from your own
firsthand observations or knowledge, it must be attributed.

______2. Stating your information source would be a great help for your audience to judge
how reliable is the news report.

______3. You don’t need to attribute when you are reporting information gathered other
journalists.
______4. Off- the-record attribution is more credible than any other type for the reason that
the source has their name with the information they’ve provided.
______5. The reporter may describe the source by her position in “on-deep background”.
______6. It is important to establish the competence of the subject to comment on a story.

______7. Reviewing the reliability of your sources is not needed in writing news stories.

______8. Understanding attribution requires understanding sources.

______9. Attribute all opinions and any information which are not clear and undisputed facts.

______10. Proper attribution is important as it gives credit to the person responsible for
providing necessary information.
