Journalism Story Components

This is an excerpt from the paper...

Traditionally the elements composing a good journalism piece are known as the 5 Ws and an H: Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How. Despite them representing the elements of all good news stories, these six components are enhanced by other factors. For example, every story needs to have a good lead that, according to Wray (1), “immediately takes readers to the action and drops them among the scurry of the event”. A summary lead is necessary for a good story because it presents a summary of the hard-hitting facts of a story – the most important ones.

The 5 Ws are incorporated into the summary lead, but the mix can vary. For example, a summary lead can be composed of the Who, What, and When; the Who, What, When, and Where; and/or the What, When and How of the story. The 5 Ws and an H each specify one of the most important details of any story. Their definitions and the unique detail of each are provided in the list below:
