THE 5 W'S OF COMMUNICATION

OF WRITING

• GETTING A DEGREE IN JOURNALISM TEACHES YOU MANY WAYS AND STYLES OF WRITING, BUT IT ALSO TEACHES YOU HOW TO COMMUNICATE! AFTER STUDYING FOR MANY YEARS, I FINALLY REALIZED THAT GOOD WRITING BOILS DOWN TO THE BASIC 5 W'S.

5 W’S

WHO

WHEN

WHAT

WHERE

WHY

WHO ?

BASICS:• WHO IS WRITING THE NOTE, LETTER, STORY, INVITATION, COMMUNICATION, ETC.

• WHO IS THE SUBJECT ?

• WHO IS THE AUDIENCE ?

• WHO IS GOING TO READ IT ?

LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FIRST PERSON VIEW,

SECOND PERSON VIEW, AND THIRD PERSON VIEW.

IF YOU CAN'T ANSWER THIS FIRST QUESTION, THEN WHY WRITE AT ALL?

WHEN ?

• DOES YOUR PLOT INCLUDE A SEASONAL REFERENCE ?

• IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR THE STORY ?

• IS THERE A DEADLINE FOR THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR GOAL ?

• IS THERE AN HISTORICAL TIME FRAME ?

TIME IS AS MUCH A PART OF THE STORY AS ANYTHING ELSE. IT IS A PARAMETER THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED.

WHAT ?

BASICS:

• WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LETTER, NOTE, BLOG, ETC...?

• WHAT DOES THE SUBJECT HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH ?

• IS IT INFORMATIVE/EDUCATIONAL ?

• WHAT DO YOU WANT THE READER TO KNOW ?

• DOES IT HAVE A BEGINNING, A MIDDLE AND AN END ?

YOU MUST CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHAT YOUR COMMUNICATION IS ALL ABOUT.

WHERE ?

• IMPORTANCE IN INVITATIONS !

• WHERE DO YOUR CHARACTERS COME FROM ?

• WHERE DO THEY WORK ?

• WHERE IS THE PLACE ON THE GLOBE THAT DEFINES YOUR BACKGROUND ?

DON'T FORGET TO SET UP A HOME OFFICE FOR YOUR WRITING.

YOU MUST HAVE A SPACE DEDICATED TO WRITING IT'S TAX DEDUCTIBLE!

USES OF WHERE

AS A QUESTION ADVERB.

AS A RELATIVE ADVERB.

o Clause

o Predicate

AS A CONJUNCTION.

WHY ?

• ASK FOR FEEDBACK.• INFORM YOUR READERS.• WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE

(PEOPLE ARE INTERESTING BEINGS).

• WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT A CURRENT EVENT.

• EXPAND ON A BACKGROUND STORY.

• MAKE YOUR ARTICLE A RESOURCE TO REFER BACK TO.

• PAINT A PICTURE WITH WORDS.

• GOOD STORIES ALL CONTAIN THE 5 W'S.
