Current Events News Article
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
I need a well-researched, straight-forward news article that explains a current event to readers who want facts first and context second. The piece should be informative rather than opinion-driven, written in clear journalistic style, and supported by reputable, cited sources (links or inline references are fine).
Scope
• Identify a timely, newsworthy event that has developed within the past week.
• Summarise the key facts—who, what, when, where, and why—then add concise background so readers understand the bigger picture.
• Keep the language neutral, avoiding editorialising or speculative commentary.
• Target length around 600–800 words; long enough to be comprehensive but short enough for quick consumption.
• Supply a headline and sub-headline, plus one-sentence image captions if you recommend any royalty-free images.
Acceptance criteria
• Follows Associated Press style (or equivalent) for punctuation, dates, and numbers.
• All statistics, quotes, and claims are attributed to verifiable sources.
• No AI-generated hallucinations; information must be cross-checked with at least two independent outlets.
• Delivered as a Word or Google Doc, ready for publication.
If you have recent clips that show your straight-news writing style, feel free to mention them when you bid.
