Lesson plan
Article structure
Article structures in journalism encompass various formats to present information in news stories and feature articles. The structure is usually dependent on the story's topic. Journalists determine which structure will inform readers best for the given story. While some writers may not consciously adhere to these structures, they often find them retrospectively aligned with their writing process. Conversely, others might consciously adopt a style as their story develops or adhere to predefined structures based on publisher guidelines.
