Introduction to News Reports
-key information comes at the beginning. Alexandre Bilodeau carved his way into Canadian history Sunday at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
The 22-year-old from Rosemère, Que., became the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal at home, finishing first in the men's moguls skiing final at Cypress Mountain.
-the most important information comes in the first sentence or two (the lead). Alexandre Bilodeau carved his way into Canadian history Sunday at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
-the information is presented most to least relevant. No Canadians won gold at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and the country was shut out again at the 1988 Winter Games in Calgary. Over 500 Canadian athletes had missed reaching the podium's peak on home soil and Canada had been the only multiple Olympic host never to win gold at home
-the reporter is not part of the story (the reporter writes using 'he,' 'she' or 'they' NOT 'I' or 'me'). Alexandre Bilodeau carved his way into Canadian history.
-the reporter gives as many facts and details as possible. The 22-year-old from Rosemère, Que., became the first Canadian to win an Olympic gold medal.
-reporters try to include either direct or indirect quotations. "It's just the beginning, I think," Bilodeau said. "There are so many Canadians coming up in the other sports. … I'll be in the stands cheering for them. I don't think I really realize it. It's too good to be true."
