A lot of work goes into writing a newspaper. Because newspapers are so extensive, they are divided up into sections. Some common parts of a newspaper include:
-Front page (breaking news)
-Answers the question who, what, when, where, and why.
-Is objective (absent of opinion or personal feeling.)
-Photos
-A good photo tells a story without needing words.
-Opinion section
-You should be able to express your opinion without hurting or belittling others.
-A valuable opinion writer is well-versed in both sides of the argument.
-Weather
-You better be a really good artist to tackle this one!
-Comics
-The comics section requires you to be a great artist AND have a funny joke to tell.
-Rated "G."
-Sports
-People want to read about a sports event as if they were there themselves.
-This should be as accurate as possible. An athlete is not going to appreciate his/her winning moves to be reported as less or more than what they were.
-Design
-A newspaper should be typed up and organized in a way that looks awesome. It requires formatting skills and typing skills, and a good eye for details.
-Classifieds
-This is a super fun section of our newspaper if it is done in the right way. Kids can advertise for things they want or things they have to offer. Who knows? You may end up getting a good deal!
-Obituaries
-This section tells about people (or in your case, perhaps pets) who have passed away recently.
-It would need to be handled in an EXTREMELY sensitive and tasteful way.
-Hashtag
-#thatwasawkward #worstdayever #myweirdfriend
-Entertainment
-Sudoku's, contests, upcoming movies, etc.
-Editor
-The editors are students who have EXCELLENT writing skills. They should be able to catch and correct grammar, spelling, and other errors.
-Editor in Chief
-That would be me, Mrs. K. :)
