Tips in News Writing

Make the most important data as

your lead.

Be accurate in presenting facts.

Names should be given in full when
first mentioned. Thereafter, use Mr.,
Mrs., Miss or title and the surname.

Attribute authority or source of news

 Avoid editorializing by not injecting your

own opinion.

Be objective. Present facts without bias.

Make short sentences and brief
paragraph. One-idea, one-sentence
paragraph varying in length.

Use simple words.

Do not use first person pronoun, I.

Prefer the active than passive voice of

the verb.

 Numbers from 1 to 9 should be

written in word and 10 above should be

in numerical figure.

Do not start the sentence with

numerical figure; have it in word.

Do not overload the first paragraph.

Do not begin the lead with articles
such as a, an, and the if possible.

Ang PAMATNUBAY

ay

attractive, but long enough to
cover the essentials.

Universe Pageant where another Filipina beauty
emerged victorious as Shamcey Supsup made it
to the top five.

Pageant.

Kinds of Novelty Lead

1. Quotation Lead (Siniping sabi)

statement uttered by well-known person.
You stole the presidency, not only once
but twice.
Shouted Susan Roces, widow of Fernando
Poe Jr., during a gathering of opposition
denouncing President Gloria Arroyos alleged
vote rigging during the 2004 election.

2. Freak Lead (Panggulat) uses typographical effects to

enhance its appeal
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.
3. Contrast Lead (Paghahambing) used to point out
opposites or extremes
Four years ago, she fought for the installation of Gloria
Macapagal- Arroyo as president of the Philippines through the
EDSA II Revolution. Today, former President Corazon Aquino is
calling for GMAs resignation.
4. Staccato Lead - consists of a series of words or phrases,
punctuated by periods, commas or dashes.
Neglected. Denuded. Abused. And abandoned. This is the
real picture of our forest today.

Example of news article:

TNHS undergoes face-lift
Much improvement in matters of physical
development can be seen in Tacurong National High School
these days aside from instruction. (Lead)
Major face-lift was made in most of the physical
facilities of the school by way of repainting and repairs.
Noticeably were the repainted front fence and gate,
classroom and offices facades, and more functional comfort
rooms.
These improvements were made possible through the
assistance from the city government of Tacurong and
donations from some stakeholders. (Body)
I hope that these developments will inspire and
encourage students to do well in their studies, says Danilo
S. Umadhay, school head. (Conclusion)

Lead in Sports News

Lead in sports news should grab readers attention by
describing a scene, introducing a player, or using a quote.
Loud shouts of euphoric fans exploded after the referee
whistled concurring the winning jump-shot of Blue Dragons
ace forward Raz Reyes from down under on the last seconds of
the final game snatching victory over Golden Thunders, 9590.
Umalingawngaw ang malalakas na sigawan ng mga
nagbubunying fans nang marinig ang pito ng referee matapos
maibuslo mula sa ilalim ng ace forward ng Blue Dragon na si
Raz Reyes ang bola sa mga huling segundo ng kampeonatong
laro na nagpabagsak sa Golden Thunders, 95-90.

Lead in Editorial
Start your opening paragraph with a news peg and
make sure to add opinion to imply your stand over the
issue.
The Arroyo administration proudly touts
the relatively high economic growth during its
watch as if it were its crowning achievement.
Lubhang nakababahala ang ulat ng DepEd na
isa sa bawat sampung Filipino ay functionally
illiterate. Ganito na ba kababa ang kalidad ng
edukasyon sa Pilipinas?
