- The heading is written in bold type.

- Sometimes there are sub-headings. These convey the key message of the report but are
not always grammatically structured.

- The identity of the reporter is stated or his connection with the newspaper.

- The first paragraph and even the first sentence summarizes the report.

- The report is written in the past tense because the event has already taken place.

- Headlines could be in the past tense, present tense or in the passive voice.

- Usually there is a mixture of direct and indirect speech in the report since eye witnesses
are interviewed and their comments quoted.

- The language should be simple.

- At times pictures and captions accompany the report.

- Because of space. Most reports are brief. The report should be objective.

- Newspaper articles are about new information about specific and timely events
