Definition of News Item
News item is a text which informs readers about events of the day. The events are considered newsworthy or important.
Generic Structure of News Item
1. Main event
2. Elaboration (background, participant, time, place)
3. Resource of information
Language Feature of News Item
1. Focusing on circumstances
2. Using material process
Surabaya's Juanda International Airport has won the Culture and Tourism Ministry's 2009 toilet award, beating out 2007 winner Denpasar's Ngurah Rai Airport, which now drops to fourth. Indonesia's main gateway, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, just outside Jakarta, moves up from fourth in 2007 to second, in the biennial "Sapta Pesona Clean Public Toilet Award".
The award was first handed out in 2007, and has so far involv
ed only international airports. Acting Culture and Tourism Minister Muhammad Nuh said he expected the award in future to also cover public toilets at tourist sites across the country.
"Granting the award to those running public toilets at tourist sites is expected to improve the quality of products and services, particularly in term of cleanliness . as part of efforts to enhance the image of national culture," Nuh said during the award presentation ceremony.

UNDERSTANDING NEWS ITEM AND HOW TO REPORT A NEWS
What is a news item text? A news item text is a text which is grouped into the text genre of narration. The main function of narration is is telling stories or informing about events in chronological order. The order in the narration can be based of time, place and the events them selves.
Referring to the high school graduate standard, news item text should be completely studied in the first class with narrative and recount text. These three text types explore the way on how a story or event is retold to others.
News item text is written for public information of what is the newsworthy of the day. Basically, a news item text tries to answer the 5Ws and 1H questions; what, who, when, where, why, and how relating to the newsworthy.
Due to the different generic structure of text types, though news item is in one group of narration genres with narrative and recount, understanding the structures on how the news item composed is absolutely important for better understanding on text genres which are different from one type to another. The following example of news item text is taken from the jakarta post which is best in revealing what news item is and how it is structured.
Three Die after Attending Marriage Ceremony
Three residents were killed, while dozens of others were wounded after a pickup truck they were taking to attend a marriage ceremony overturned in Jingkang village, Banyumas Regency, on Sunday.
The pickup was carrying 30 passengers, mostly women, when it failed to ascend a steep road on its way back from the ceremony.
As a result, the passengers were squeezed. The wounded passengers were later rushed to the Ajibarang regional public hospital.
Local police are investigating the cause of the accident.
After reading above example of news item text, it is clearly that news item text is written to inform the newsworthy. It is socially important to know that there was an accident of pickup which caused three died.
Additionally the generic structure of above news item is as follow:
1. Main event; the main event is the three died in an accident of the pickup after attending marriage ceremony
2. Elaboration; it can be a background, participant, time, and place relating to the accident. It is the detail information for the accident which informs on how the accident happen and who are the victims.
3. Resource; it can be a witness or statement/treatment of the authority.

generic Structure |
| Each simulation is divided into sections. The full model allows you to explore the simulation by choosing the settings for the input variables. The use of the full model enables the student to investigate the relationship between the input variables and the model. There are also links to understanding the output pages of the simulation as well as a discussion on how the simulation should behave when you change different input variables. |
| Background information |
| The supporting information pack introduces the some of the issues surrounding the simulation. This area contains a set of self assessment interactive tasks that the student can complete. The intention of each task is to help the student investigate the relationships in the simulation. When the 'try this policy' button is selected, then the model is run with the inputs set to the new settings as outlined in the question and the student is presented with the appropriate output page. There are different styles of self assessment question, these include, multiple choice questions on how you expect the simulation to behave, and long answer questions to develop you understanding of the model and your answer style. Each question is further supported with information on how to interpret the model's output and a discussion on the likely effects of the variable under consideration. |
| Are you up to the challenge? |
| An important question! The intention is to promote a student community where people can submit their policy recommendations within set constraints. A league table of appropriate policy ideas will be made available. |
| Further questions |
| This area links the simulation to other question types. For instance, essays, interactive data response, data questions and further study questions. The questions require the use of the simulation within the answer. The questions also include links to other Biz/ed resources, including, advice on answering essays and data response questions. |
| Subject guidelines |
| Each simulation is supported by a set of guidelines. These guidelines illustrate the curriculum areas where the simulations can add value within the learning and teaching scheme of work. |
| Creating a community |
| The simulation is supported by feedback mechanisms, these include, discussion boards, online return forms and e-mail links. The hope is that communities will develop for both students and educators. |
| Biz/ed resources |
| The Biz/ed resources include a comprehensive list of definitions, related Web sites, useful diagrams, supporting theories and links to relevant news items. The material within the theory section includes interactive self assessment questions to allow the individual to assess their understanding of the theory. The theoretical support also includes links - where appropriate - to other Web sites so the student can gather the most recent information. |
funny terrible video about news item! :)
Everyone is different, different methods work for different people the following are only suggestions on improving upon your current studying techniques.
