Conclusion[edit]

The conclusion will sum up the article, possibly including a final quote, a descriptive scene, a
play on the title or lead, a summary statement, or the writer's opinion. Make the conclusion
attention-grabbing.

Characteristics of well-written news articles[edit]

The article is usually on a well-defined topic or topics that are related in some way, such as a
factual account of a newsworthy event. The writer of a well-written article is seen as objective
and showing all sides to an issue. The sources for a news story should be identified and reliable.
The technique of show, don't tell is applied.

Authorship[edit]
Publications obtain articles in a few different ways:

 staff written – an article may be written by a person on the staff of the publication.
 assigned – a freelance writer may be asked to write an article on a specific topic.
 unsolicited – a publication may be open to receiving article manuscripts from freelance
writers.
