Getting the Story Out With News Values

News can be described as information about current affairs or news that is relevant to current events. Examples of news related to current events include: reports on the latest weather, local traffic, and other occurring events of the day. Also known as local news, local, regional, and national news. Notable individuals or locations: world leaders, Olympic athletes, political leaders, sports figures, and news correspondents. The purpose of news is to inform, alert, and entertain. It informs readers about current events by offering up-to-date and timely facts and information.

News is created through several different methods. Examples of old-fashioned ways to create news are by writing or publishing an article, creating a news release, reporting in a news story, or by adding photos to a piece of newsprint. News is also created electronically through the Internet, television, radio, and other media. News that is created digitally is often called online news because it is distributed to readers around the world using the web, the Internet, email, SMS, or other media.

News can also be written about a particular person, event, or topic. News can also be written about things that have happened recently, or can be written to commemorate a recent significant event. News is also considered to be subjective. The news values of accuracy and timeliness determine how news is written. News is subjective depending on what is included, such as a death of a celebrity, breaking news involving the terrorist attacks in the U.S., the opening of a new terminal at an airport, or anything else that would be considered a news story. In some cases, there are some areas of the world where certain types of news are not acceptable such as a story about a war or terrorist attack in Nigeria.

When writing a story for the print or online media, it is important to remember that readers do not take the newspapers literally, as they may interpret literally what they read. News stories that are written with a personal impact on readers make news more likely to be accepted by readers. Readers who understand the importance of what they read in local news cannot help but compare it to other sources they may hear about locally, making the story more personal for them. Including a personal touch makes the story more likely to be accepted as a real news story and therefore, made available to other readers.

Because many people do not like to read negative news stories, a positive story about a local business is often much more likely to be accepted as a real news story by many people. A journalist can use several different methods to find out what the public wants. This includes asking customers and the general public, interviewing individuals who may know the public, conducting interviews with local media personalities, reading newspapers and magazines based in the community, studying current events, watching televised news, listening to radio shows, reading business magazines, studying and attending seminars hosted by local journalists, researching the Internet, speaking with other journalists and writing articles based on their experiences.

There are many more methods that news reporters use to get the information they need from the public. The same basic method of finding out what readers want and what readers need is used, however, in many cases the reporters add a little something to it to make the story more unique to readers. In essence, a reporter’s goal is to become a news reader first before becoming a journalist. Learning to incorporate reader preferences into their work is one way for new journalists to learn to write in a way that helps the public.

News design is an artistic process of arranging written content on a newspaper page according to visual and editorial guidelines and objectives. Main editorial goals typically include the placement of news articles by category, with news sections often following a specific format of shape, size, and font. Visual considerations involve balanced and unobtrusive incorporation of imagery, while logical goals of organization often include the most effective arrangement of story elements for the reader. While these goals can vary according to specific requirements, most news organizations seek to maintain a uniform number of layout formats and clear readable format to attract readers and increase reader participation and reaction.

A common mistake in many newspapers and magazines is an over-reliance on simple and clear format layouts that are often perceived as “unattractive.” This can be remedied through the incorporation of several design elements, including graphics, headlines, subheadings, and underlined text. In a highly competitive marketplace, clear layout contributes to both reader awareness and increased revenue. For this reason, graphic design is an important element of news design. Graphic designs that accurately depict the content of the newspaper page are an important component of making news read more quickly and clearly.

Another principle of successful news design involves the consideration of color. Unlike the past, newspapers and magazines are now more likely to display color ads and other types of media on the bottom and side of each page. Unlike advertisements in magazines and books, however, these color additions in newspapers and magazines should not be distracting to the primary content. Instead, they should enhance the appearance of the print and present a more stylish appearance to readers.

A third principal that applies to all successful newspapers and magazines is the recognition of reader intent. After all, unlike advertisements or book cover designs, newspapers and magazines are read by people who are interested in the current news or the information that is being presented. Therefore, the design of the front page of the paper is critical to ensuring that readers are able to understand the most significant story. One way to accomplish this is by developing a layout that is easy to navigate and that offers the most relevant information to the readers at one glance. In Edmund Berry’s famous article “How to Make a Page,” he described his approach to designing the front page of the paper, and his choice of key fonts and his use of simple, yet elegant design patterns.

Much of the success of news design depends upon the designers expertise and style. In fact, it was Edmund Arnolds first experience as a newspaper designer that led him to develop a particular style that has become synonymous with the profession. Known as the ” Arnolds method “- after the initials of its designer- this particular style emphasized visual clarity while maintaining an easy to understand layout. This principal combination became the basis for the designs that were adopted by virtually all American newspapers and magazines for decades.

Newspapers and magazines today have access to a much greater range of information than they had even just twenty years ago. Technological progress, of course, has also played a large part in the development of modern newspaper and magazine layouts. The incorporation of the electronic media into the news design process has increased the ability of designers to display information on a much larger scale. New advances in digital image processing have dramatically changed the way that designers create news content. Many newspapers and magazines have gone to print on computer media in order to maximize their distribution and to reduce costs associated with producing the news. As the Internet becomes more widely available, the ability of newspapers and magazines to provide online news will only increase.
