News style, journalistic style, or news-writing style is the
prose style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers,
radio and television.
News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence
structure, but also the way in which stories present the
information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended
audience. The tense used for news style articles is past tense.
News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about
any particular event—who, what, when, where and why (the Five
Ws) and also often how—at the opening of the article. This form
of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid", to
refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent
paragraphs.
News stories also contain at least one of the following
important characteristics relative to the intended audience:
proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or
consequence.
