News Release: Overseas Family School issued a statement this weekend outlining its plan to do away with face to face classroom teaching by becoming the first IB World School to deliver its entire curriculum online by the end of 2017.
Firstly, I reviewed the profile of our newspaper in order to decide what focus the article would have. Thus, I chose to base the headline and lead on the sports aspect related to the news release. Aside this, I used bias techniques such as omission and commission in order to build on a positive perspective on having a fully online curriculum. Through focusing on the development of electronic sports it may attract our targeted audience of sport enthusiasts or maybe allow an older audience to become more familiar with advancements in sports. After this, the article continued on commenting on its impacts on the school or education, moving down the inverted triangle of news by leaving the least important towards the last as the beginning will have an immediate impact on whether the article will be read.
