Summary :

Good news will present new information that can be useful for the life of the reader and also has interesting values. Therefore, a news should have a writing structure that is different from other text structures.

If we find a news story, there will be values ​​that we get, namely the accuracy of the news with the original event, news that is consistent, relevant to everyday life, written clearly so as not to cause ambiguity, clarity of news sources, and does not corner any party who We can call it objective.

Furthermore, it relates to the elements in a story, namely there is proximity, namely the place where the news occurs which attracts readers, then there is prominence, namely the people involved in the news, timelines when the news happened, whether it was viral to be discussed or was it old-fashioned, and there is another consequence, namely there is an impact from the news that is read and also human interest there is an expression that arises when we read the news.

Reflection :

After studying this material, what I can learn from is that every news story needs to contain a fact where as readers we should sort out which news contains clear and relevant information about the original incident.

I also know that in every news writing, a journalist works hard to present news that can attract the interest of readers who also need to be careful about the authenticity of the news.

I also learned how the writing style of a news text differentiates it from other texts, so it became a lesson for myself to practice news writing. And it is also a self-correction whether every news we read has information that can change lives for the better or just read the news to find out the bad of other people, or to make the news (people bad) a topic of conversation.
