News stories are important to people because it let’s them know what is going on in the world around them. As a journalist, it is our job to convey what is going on in a short and concise matter. The article on dynamicsofwriting.com tells us that there are two main questions that we need to answer when we write a story. What happened? And why does it matter? The article tells us that to answer the first question we need to use strong language that gets the message across. If we beat around the bush the reader might loose interest and miss out on important information. The second question that needs to be answered is why does this matter? If we cannot say why the story matters then we ourselves don’t really know what to tell the reader about the story.
