The 5 Ws
The 5Ws are the main information that readers, viewers and listeners expect to find within a news story itself. Journalists tend to include the 5W's in news articles so the audience knows what the news is about. Often the 5W's will appear towards the beginning of the news story as this helps the audience determine whether they will keep reading/watching/listening, but also means that if a story has to be cut this can happen without losing the most vital information. This has shown me that when I create my news stories I should include the 5Ws in my stories and within the first two paragraphs.
