News writing, or journalistic writing, is slightly different from other kinds of writing. Knowing how to write in a news media style is important not only for an organization's reporters, but also for its members. Because the news media are where most people go for information, news stories have a significant impact on readers, viewers, and listeners. Knowing how to write a news story well and sending it to the news media in the form of a news release could mean that your information gets into a newspaper or on a radio or television newscast.
