To write a great news story
, you have to make sure it is
correct
,
relevant
(
相关的
) and fresh..
For a start, all the
information in a story must be correct. Not only
the spelling and grammar, but also
the
facts. Any mistakes that appear
(
出现）
in a story
can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that
Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it
would be
wrong. He wasn't the first.
The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers
because of that mistake.
A
news story is not only correct
，
but also relevant to its
readers . People are mostly interested in
news that happens near to them . That
is why you care more about what happens at your
school that at
American schools. It is
also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about
much news in Shanghai or Hong
