A news article is an element
within a newspaper that is supposed to just relate the facts and nothing but
the facts. Contents of news articles can
include eyewitness accounts, as many (if not all) perspectives as possible, be free
of bias, and be as objective as possible.
The reason for this is because newspapers strive to be seen as reliable
sources of information where readers can go to get the facts and draw
conclusions for themselves. As such, an
author of a newspaper article should present a piece of writing that does not
take sides and/or contain any opinion on their behalf. It can almost be considered to be like a
summary of a happening because of how summaries should be free from bias and
opinion and provide readers with facts and nothing more.
