News Writing for Beginners

News writing is as crucial for TV and streaming as it is for digital and print, but a news script often requires its own unique styles of storytelling and story structure.

Breaking news articles front-load information and share the lede and nut graph at the beginning. A feature news script has more gradual reveals, and can even keep surprises for the very end of the piece. Someone watching or listening to a news program may not have the same attention span as an article reader, and social media users often prefer different kinds of storytelling than traditional TV news segments.
