Definition News Item
News
item text is an English text that tells an event or important event in a form
that resembles news, or is worthy of being made news (news).
In
English, quoting from Create Webquest, “News item is a text which informs
readers about the events of the day. The events are considered newsworthy or
important. It means if there is an important event that should be known by many
people."
Purpose

provide information to the reader about an important incident or event of
value.
In

police regulations requiring motorists to wear shoes, the public will be more
orderly for reasons of safety and also avoid sanctions.
Generic Structure of News Item Text
Like other types of text, news item text, of course, also has a structure that composes all of its elements. Here's an explanation
1.
Main Event/Newsworty Event
Taking from the word "main"
which means main, then "event" which means event, the main event is a
paragraph that contains a summary of an event, aka important events which are
the highlights to be conveyed to the reader.
2.
Elaboration/Background Event
You still remember, right, what must be
fulfilled in order for a text to be worthy of being said as news? Yep, the
contents must include 5W + 1H (what, where, when, who, why) and how.
Singkatnya, this background event
contains the background of the events that occurred. Starting from what and who
was involved, where, when, why, and how the incident could happen. This
structure must be written in full so that the reader can easily understand the
entire text and the value of the news can be conveyed properly.
3.
Resource of Information (Source)
Last is sources. When writing news item text, don't forget to include the source, ok! source, namely the section that contains the opinion of experts or eyewitnesses. In addition, it can also be in the form of comments from various other parties involved.
The
following is an example of applying structure to news text
