1. Who is the story about?
The story is about Australian government and the Indonesian fishermen.
2. What happened?
The Australian government is attacking the illegal fishing of the Indonesian fishermen.
3. When did it happen? I can’t be told by the article, but the news is on today.
4. Where did the event or events take place?
It took place in the maritime space of North and South Australia.
5. Why did this event occur?
The Indonesian fishermen have been fishing for the shark (for their fins) illegally in the maritime space of North and South Australia.
6. How did this happen?
The Australian navy patrol boat pursued the illegal fishermen and was attacked.
7. How does the angle or focus of a feature story differ from that of a straight news story?
The feature stories focus on the process, which means the reason and the result. When common news just focuses on the time, place, and what happened. And also, the feature stories are timeless so they are not only reporting the news, and also the people, some special cases in the society or in the poverty countries.
8. How credible are the sources cited?
Yes, it’s from the Reuters News Service (http://today.reuters.com/news/home.aspx).
9. Is it factual or sensationalized? It is factual and objective.
10. Does the reporter show a bias?
No, I can’t see say clue that he trended towards fishermen or the Australian navy.
11. Does the reporter judge or do you decide?
He just remains the answer for the readers to decide.
