HOW TO PREPARE NEWS REPORT?

Components of News Report: 

There are four parts of New Report:

                             1. Headline

                             2. Byline (According to CBSE books)

                             3. Lead/Intro

                             4. Main Body

Technique To Prepare Effective Headline: 

        1. Use of Simple Present Tense: 

            Purpose: i) To maintain freshness of the news.

                         e.g. India beats Pak by 4 wicket  

                         (India defeated Pak yesterday but Headline is in Simple Present)

                           ii) To give reader a feeling of actual presence at the place of occurence

        2. Short form of Passive Voice

                            i) To give more importance to the 'Action' than the 'Doer'  

                         e.g. 5 killed in accident  (5 persons were killed in and accident)

                           ii) To make headline Short and Effective.

                         e.g. 5 militants gunned down in Uri

        3. Use of Active Voice:

                            i) To show 'Doer'  is more important than the 'Action'

                         e.g.   Prime Minister visits quake victims

                           ii) To create feeling of urgency

                         e.g. Thieves grab 1 crores gems (Urgency)

                                

        4. Omission of ARTICLES ('a' , 'an' 'the' ) from the Headline :
                         for .e.g. Patil wants assembly meet

                                          (Patil wants an assembly meet) Removed 'An'
       5. Use of conctrete and vivid words:
                        for e.g Thieves grab 1 croes gems 
                                        is prefered to 
                                  Valuable jewellery stolen 

By line:  Name of the News Agency or Correspondence who drafted the News:

               e.g. By Press Trust of India  

                              Or 

                      By Zee News

Dateline : Consists of 

                                i) City Name 

                                ii)Month Name

                               iii) News Agency/Correspondence (if not mentioned after headline) 

(In newspapers News Agency/correspondents name is sometimes mentioned in the headline)

                e.g. MUMBAI, July,29 (PTI)

                       MUMBAI, JULY:
Lead/Intro :  30 to 40 words , It introduces us to the main story so it is called intro. It leads us  
                       the main body of the news so it is called lead also.
                       5 persons were killed and many others were injured yesterday evening when a  
                       bus collided into a car near Sardar Bridge, Surat killing 5 and injuring 10                                     others. Injureds had been rushed to civil hospital Surat two of them are reported                         to be in critical condition.
