    To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant (相关的) and fresh.

    For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts. Any mistake that appears in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go. into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.

    A news story should not only be correct, but also be relevant to its readers, People are mostly

interested in local news. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don't talk about much news in Shanghai or

Hong Kong.

    Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news. from last week!
