Local Events News Article
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I’m commissioning a clear, fact-centred news piece that reports on a recent local event in an informative, unbiased tone. The finished story should read like something that would appear in a regional newspaper: concise, engaging, and grounded in verified details rather than opinion.
Scope
• Identify and briefly introduce the event (e.g., community initiative, council decision, cultural festival, charity run).
• Gather and cite primary information—quotes from organisers or attendees, official statements, and publicly available data.
• Provide context that helps readers understand why the event matters to the community.
• Maintain journalistic structure: headline, lede, body with inverted-pyramid flow, and a short closing paragraph.
Length & Style
• 600–800 words, AP style or similar.
• Neutral, informative voice with balanced sourcing.
• All facts, figures, and attributions must be verifiable.
Deliverables
1. Final article in editable DOCX (plus a clean PDF for reference).
2. Brief source list or links for fact-checking.
3. Up to two light revisions if required for accuracy or clarity.
Once approved, I will supply any existing press releases or contact details that might help.
