Table of content

Straight news or news story

This is a simple, factual report of newsworthy events. It answers the "who, what, when, where, and how" of the event and is impersonal. It cites sources and states facts. Think of it as a straightforward relay of events - like reporting about a football match or the result of an election.

 

๐ŸŒ Real-world Example: The coverage of the 2020 U.S. presidential election results by CNN or BBC, stating who won, the percentage of votes, and other factual details.

Editorial

Unlike a news story, an editorial presents the opinion of the newspaper's editorial team. It's more personal and may not offer as many details as a news story since it assumes that the reader is already aware of the details.

 

๐ŸŒ Real-world Example: When The New York Times published an editorial endorsing Joe Biden for the presidency in 2020, they were expressing their viewpoint and not stating facts.
