News subscription is a model of reader revenue where your audience makes recurring payments to access your content. This can be a great way to diversify your income sources, especially if your organization is small or serves a niche subject. Asking your audience what they want to read about and what is missing from other publications can help you create a successful news subscription business.
News articles should start with a strong lead that clearly states what the article is about and why it’s important. The lead should also include the basics of the story, including what happened, where and when it took place, who is involved and why it’s newsworthy. It’s a good idea to have an extra pair of eyes review your lead to make sure it’s clear and complete.
Use first and last names for all people mentioned in the article, unless there is a compelling reason to do otherwise. Using middle initials may confuse readers. If the article includes a photograph, be sure to use the person’s full name in the caption. Using only a first name may confuse readers, particularly if they are used to seeing that person’s name in the context of other news stories.
