How to Improve News Writing

Clear transitions throughout your article is very important.  As a writer, you must be able to present new ideas to your reader smoothly and without confusion. In order to introduce a new topic, you must include a sentence that binds the ideas of each paragraph together.  This clear transition is just as important when introducing a quote for your article. In order to present a quote into your article without confusion, you must first introduce the person who said the quote in a way that is directly linked to the information being presented.
It is also very important to take note that news writing is extremely different than creative writing.  A key point to remember with news writing is that less it more. Flowery language is in no way necessary to present a good story to the public.  It is always best to just say what you mean is a clear, concise way for the reader to understand.
