Journalism Article Structure and Techniques

The video tutorial introduces journalism as a profession involving reporting and writing for newspapers. It explains the inverted pyramid writing method, which includes the headline, lead, body, and tail sections of an article. Journalists aim to answer the five Ws (who, what, when, where, why) in their articles, starting with an engaging headline and lead.
