Summary
News reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform readers of what is
happening in the world around them. The social function of news report is to inform the target
readers, listeners, and viewers about events which are considered important and relevant to
them by summarizing the event by mentioning only the important points in first paragraph and
tells the events in details by providing the details of the important points, as stated by the
sources such as authority, source person, witness. In order to have a good news report, we
should use telegraphic information about story captured in headline, direct and indirect
sentences to report the events according to witness(es) and the source person and use past
tenses. Using prepositional phrases to state the circumstances briefly will help the readers
understand the news. Using clause will make our sentence in news report will be more
attractive.
