The 5 Ws

The 5Ws are the main information that readers/viewers and listeners expect to find within a news story itself. Most journalists tend to include the 5W's in news articles so the audience knows what the news tends to be about. Often the 5W's usually appear towards the beginning of the news story. This will help the audience determine whether they will keep reading, watching or listening, but this also means that the reader will be informed of the most crucial information about the article. This has shown me that when I create my news stories I should include the 5Ws in my stories and within the first two paragraphs.
