Broadsheet articles aim to give information to the reader. In theory, broadsheet articles are also supposed to be unbiased. Whilst this isn't always the case in real life, for the exam, you need to try to appear unbiased. This means that, as the writer, you won't put too many opinions in the article however, you can use quotes and report on how others feel about the topic.

Broadsheet articles are also typically formal in nature. They will usually avoid personal pronouns such as "I", "you", and "we". Remember, when writing a broadsheet article, think about how people speak on news channels (if you don't know how people speak on the news, watch a few videos on the BBC news website to check).

The Inverse News Triangle
The Inverse News Triangle
Broadsheet newspaper articles do things differently:
•Start by summing up the entire story: everything a person needs to know about the basics of the story need covering in the first paragraph.
•After this, a broadsheet article will begin going into more details.
•The most important details need to go first, with the least importance last.
•This is because editors will cut words from an article, if a more important news story comes up and they will always cut from the bottom

<Insert a short title that covers the story without being too over the top>
Conclusion (not a typo/mistake): Broadsheet articles put conclusions first. In the first 1-2 paragraphs, try to summarise the necessary information for people to have a good overview of the story/news topic. People should be able to read just the first 1-2 paragraphs and have enough information to discuss this topic with another person.
Content: In these 3-4 paragraphs, you should cover different details relating to the story. For example, you might include paragraphs that give different perspectives e.g. members of the community, politicians, etc. Typically these details will go from most important to least important. Again, this is due to editors sometimes cutting down articles to make enough room in the newspaper for when it gets published. Editors will usually cut from the bottom of the article, so all your additional, less important details go there.
