Book Free DemoA report is a specific form of writing. It is an account given of a particular matter, especially in the form of an official document, after thorough investigation or consideration.
A report is usually short and sharp. The main aim of a report is to identify and examine issues, events, or findings that have taken place. It generally analyses a situation or problem, often making recommendations for future action. Since it is a factual paper, it needs to be clear and well-structured.
Types of Newspaper reports:
National newspapers: will report on national issues like war, politics and finance.
Local newspapers: will report the actions and events in areas and tend to lean towards emotional stories.
A report should have:
- Headline
- Name of the reporter
- Place, date and source (the source where the information taken can be mentioned at the end of the report)
How to write a report:
- The beginning of the report is usually an expression of the headline.
- The middle paragraph gives the details.
- It is followed by the conclusion or summing up.
- The report should be brief, but the headline and the style should be eye-catching.
- Sometimes important points can be given in a box in the centre of the report.
