A news update is a brief article that updates readers on a recent newsworthy topic or development. News updates are often a follow-up to another story and should still be written in the inverted pyramid style, with the most important details, such as who, what, where, when and why, at the beginning of the article. It is important to include enough information to provide context for the reader, including quotes and background details. It is also important to avoid abrupt switches between first and second person. Use only first names or initials unless there is compelling reason to use a middle name.
