At Infoplease, one of our main goals is to get you the information you want and need. That’s why we’re constantly looking for stories about current events in the United States and around the world. You can find news articles about current events in newspapers, magazines, and on the Web. Scholarly sources typically take longer to research and publish, but you can also find articles about recent events in historical context.
The inverted pyramid structure puts the most important details at the top, so readers can get a sense of what’s happening even if they don’t read the entire article. Stick to verified facts and direct quotes to convey opinions objectively, and avoid using jargon and technical terms unless necessary for accuracy.
