General articles are articles under the scope of WikiProject Writing that need some work. We encourage you to add articles to this along with a note describing how the article can be improved. This can be as simple as mentioning an award a scholar received or restructuring the article for clarity.
A news article discusses current or recent news of either general interest (i.e. daily newspapers) or of a specific topic (i.e. political or trade news magazines, club newsletters or technology news websites). [citation needed] A news article can include accounts of eyewitnesses to the happening event.
The topic of the article must be notable: it must have in-depth coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. If you are connected to the topic, don't write about it. Find another topic instead. Make sure there isn't already an article about the topic. The article you write must include citations to the sources you used.

The topic is only revealed to the students an hour before the actual debate by way of opening a sealed envelope in their presence. This ensures that no pre-written material can be used in the debate. Students are expected to speak for a total time period of four minutes which is followed by two minutes of questioning and rebuttals.
A feature story is a piece of non-fiction writing about news covering a single topic in detail. A feature story is a type of soft news, [1] news primarily focused on entertainment rather than a higher level of professionalism. The main subtypes are the news feature and the human-interest story.
