Depending on the topic, entertainment articles can be hard news stories about celebrities or can be soft, fluffy pieces about a popular sport. Regardless of the subject matter, it’s important to do your research and speak to people that are involved in the event or topic you are writing about to ensure that you have all the facts.
Whether you are reporting on a political scandal or the latest gossip about a celebrity, it’s crucial to use strong verbs and vivid descriptions to engage your audience. Using sensory details such as sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch helps paint a picture for your readers. Also, be sure to avoid sexist language and racial slurs.
