Introduction to News English A. Warm-up Exercise: What are the pros and cons of reading the news? Is reading news important in our life? Why or why not? 6 B. Newsworthiness 1. Timing The word news means things that are new —information on the latest, most current events. 2. Significance The number of people affected by the event, the importance of the event to international relations, or the magnitude of the event is important 3. Proximity Distance is not only measured geographically, but culturally as well. 4. Prominence Celebrities, politicians, and royalty—they are newsworthy simply because they are famous. 5. Human Interest They appeal to readers' emotions, sympathy or sense of curiosity. C. Sections of a Newspaper 1. Hard News (Serious News): This is what we think of when we say "the news." These stories inform the reader of events that have happened within the recent past, usually the day before, and are usually found in the first section of any newspaper or at the top of a news website. 2. Features: These articles are generally longer and go deeper into their subject matter. They may seek to emotionally affect the reader, to explain the news, or to offer personal insight. 3. Sports: This section reports on teams that have won or lost, the prospects of different clubs and personalities. This section may be divided according to the activity, such as baseball, football or basketball. 4. Business: These articles often describe profits and losses at various companies trends in stock markets, and profile important CEOs and other leaders. 5. Editorial/Op-Ed: Articles in this section don't simply inform readers about events, but interpret them from a particular viewpoint. For example, an opinion article won't just report on a politician's speech, but will interpret the speech in either a positive or negative way. 6. Science: These articles report news about advances in scientific knowledge. 7. Health: These articles either describe the latest medical news or inform readers about maintaining fitness. 8. Entertainment: This section consists of movie and theater reviews, descriptions of local festivals, and gossip and interviews related to celebrities. 9. Technology: This section consists of articles discussing the latest advances in computers, robotics, and energy. 10. Travel: These articles describe how to get to exotic locations, where to stay, the best food and how much you can expect to spend there. 7 4. News English Structure A. Structure of a News Article 1. Headline: (eye-catching) • Unique grammar and vocabulary. Using simple present tense. 2. The Lead: (grab reader’s attention) • Appears in the first sentence to sum up main facts or information (mostly they are summary leads) in a single line. 3. The Body: (full detail and conclusion) • Details: expand on the lead to explain/clarify further • Power quote: from witnesses, experts • Nut graph: significance, distinctiveness of an article B. Features of News 1. Different kinds of article – Fact-based – Opinion-based 2. Vocabularies – Synonyms – Tones *Aim at precision/accuracy. 3. Effects – Biased, misleading – Objective, neutral, fair, disinterested, factual – Emotive, conservative, reactionary, liberal *Vocabulary/Wording used may affect the tone and establish perspective of the news article. C. Ethics of Journalism News writing is based on the principle of journalistic professionalism. This principle states that reporters and journalists should be objective in their writing. This means 8 they must treat all the participants fairly, with disinterestedness and factuality, and that they must be free from political influence. D. Headlines 1. Use simple present tense to describe past events. – President Obama defends stimulus bill. 2. Use present progressive to describe ongoing events. – FDA still probing Friday’s J&J recall. 3. Use the infinitive form of the verb (to +V.) to describe future events. – Malaysia to update its quota system. 4. Don’t use auxiliary verbs, such as “have” or “to be,” in passive sentences. – Bullet removed from head. 5. Leave out articles “a/the/this…” and “to be” to save space. – Suspect arrested in NYC bomb attempt. 6. Use nouns, verbs and prepositions as adjectives. – Post-Copenhagen climate talks begin amid discord. 7. Use specialized vocabulary and abbreviations. – Judge nixes media request for iPhone warrant. (note: nixes for refuses; warrant is a legal term) 8. Colloquialisms or even slang terms are commonly used. – Hillary slams Iran prez following Ahmadinejad’s rant at UN. 9. Special uses of punctuation. – Joint Chiefs Chair: No, No, No. Don’t Attack Iran. (indicating a speaker) – Stocks fall after wild day; Europe woes linger. (indicating a different angle of the same story) E. Exercise 1. Three people have been killed in a terrible shop fire. → Terrible shop fire kills 3. 2. The Boston Red Sox have humiliated the Toronto Blue Jays, who lost 8-0. → Boston Red Sox humiliate Toronto Blue Jays 8-0. 3. Police mistakes have led to 183 crimes not being detected. → Police mistakes: 183 crimes not detected 4. A judge has sentenced a lottery winner to jail for a bank robbery. → Lottery winner jailed for robbery. 9 5.

We're here with some of the Black leaders of our country and people that are highly respected and people that have done a fantastic job and, for the most part, have been working on this whole situation with me right from the beginning. Participants. Yes. Yes. The President. And we've done a lot. We've done Opportunity Zones. We've done criminal justice reform. We've done things that people didn't even think possible. Criminal justice reform—we've let a lot of great people out of jail. Participants. Yes! [Applause] The President. And you know, Alice Johnson is, really, just such a great example. A fine woman. And she doesn't say she didn't do it; she made a mistake. But she was in there for 22 years when we let her out, and she had practically another 20 left. Participant. She did. The President. And that's not appropriate. Alveda King Ministries Founder Alveda C. King. Her children grew up, her grandbabies. The President. Yes, I know. So incredible. And you couldn't produce—there's nobody is Hollywood that could have produced that last scene of her. Ms. King. Amen. Amazing. The President. That was the real deal—of her when she saw her kids. So it's really a fantastic thing. So what I think I do is I'd like to—for the media, I'd like to go around the room, and we can do just a quick introduction of each other.

The data included will provide you with a high-level review of TMCF’s accomplishments in 2016—fulfi lling our vision of Changing the World... One Leader at a Time. TMCF’s growth and presence over the years make me proud of the work we do daily to support our member-schools and assist them with preparing our students to be the next generation of leaders. However, even though we had an incredible year, there is so much more to be done. There are so many more students who need an opportunity o ered, encouragement given, or an obstacle removed in order to achieve their full potential. Even though we do the work, we are keenly aware that nonprofi ts need partners to help develop creative solutions to get and stay on the path to sustainability. And, we’re deeply proud of the community of donors, partners, and supporters who work with us to make this happen. As we prepare for our 30th anniversary next year, we will remain dedicated to ensure that the success of member-schools and students will continue to grow. Our ultimate goal is for TMCF to be the fundamental place WHERE EDUCATION PAYS OFF®.

The President. These are a lot of my friends, but you have been so helpful, Darrell. I appreciate that. You have been really, really—and we did well. The election, we—it came out really well. Next time, we'll triple it up or quadruple it, right? Participant. That's right. The President. And we want to get over 51, right? At least 51.

Department of Housing and Urban Development Director of Public Liaison Lynne Martine Patton. Hi, how are you, sir? The President. Good, nice to see you. And just a few notes. During this month, we honor the tremendous history of the African Americans throughout our country—throughout the world, if you really think about it, right? And their story is one of unimaginable sacrifice, hard work, and faith in America. I've gotten a real glimpse during the campaign, I'd go around with Ben to a lot of different places that I wasn't so familiar with. They're incredible people.

    MCC Presidential Visit (7/7/21): Media Coverage Print President Biden travels to Crystal Lake on Wednesday in first Illinois presidential visit, Chicago Sun- Times, 7/3/21 https://chicago.suntimes.com/politics/2021/7/3/22562494/president-joe-biden-travels-to-crystal-lake- on-wednesday-in-first-illinois-presidential-visit WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden will make his first presidential visit to Illinois on Wednesday when he travels to Crystal Lake — a northwest suburb in McHenry County that former President Donald Trump won in 2020. The White House announced the visit Saturday night. Sources told the Chicago Sun-Times that Biden, unless plans change, will appear at the McHenry County College in Crystal Lake. Biden will be at the community college to promote his American Families Plan — a package of proposals dealing with, among other items, child poverty and making college more affordable. While McHenry County voters preferred Trump, Crystal Lake is represented in Congress by Democratic Reps. Lauren Underwood and Sean Casten and they are expected — along with other Illinois Democrats — to be at the event. In April, First Lady Jill Biden, who teaches at a community college in northern Virginia, made her first visit to Illinois, appearing at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon. President Biden to visit Crystal Lake on Wednesday, MyStateline.com, 7/4/21 https://www.mystateline.com/news/president-biden-to-visit-crystal-lake-on-wednesday/ CRYSTAL LAKE, Ill.
