The risk with an AI news article generator is that it fills the gaps with plausible names, numbers and quotes. News Article works the other way round. It writes only from the facts and sources you paste, and when an essential element is missing it leaves a placeholder in square brackets, such as [date] or [source], for you to fill in.
The article follows the inverted pyramid used in newsrooms, a headline of twelve words at most, an optional subheading, a lead paragraph that answers who, what, when, where and why, then supporting paragraphs from the most to the least important, with background context last. The style is neutral, in the third person, and every claim is attributed to its source.
Quotes appear only if they are in your notes. When facts involve allegations or private individuals, the wording stays cautious, "according to investigators" rather than a statement of guilt. For announcements written from your company's point of view, use the Press Release tool instead.
What you get
- A headline of up to twelve words and an optional subheading
- A lead paragraph that answers who, what, when, where and why
- Supporting paragraphs in order of importance, background last
- Every claim attributed, quotes used only if you provided them
- Placeholders in square brackets for missing details, never invented facts
What you fill in
- Facts and sources required
-
The article only uses the facts you provide. Missing details are marked in square brackets for you to fill in, never invented.
How to use it, step by step
-
Paste the facts
In Facts and sources, write what happened, who was involved, when and where, the key numbers and any quote you can attribute, with the name and role of the speaker.
-
Add where each fact comes from
Note the source next to each claim, such as "according to the town council". The article attributes claims the same way.
-
Choose language, length and tone
Pick the output language and a maximum length. The length is an upper limit, so a short set of facts gives a short article.
-
Generate and fill the gaps
Search the article for square brackets and replace each placeholder with a verified detail, or remove the sentence.
-
Check before you publish
Check every name, number and quote against your notes. For headline alternatives, try the Post Title Generator.

Tips for better results
- Write facts as short statements, one per line.
- Include the full name and role of every person quoted. Without them, the quote cannot be attributed.
- For a follow-up story, paste the earlier facts as background and mark what is new.
Who uses it, and for what
Local news sites and newsletters
Turn council notes, event details and quotes into a publishable short news story.
Communications officers
Draft a news-style article for an internal magazine or an intranet from a list of verified facts.
Associations and schools
Report on an event, a result or an initiative in a format local media can pick up.
Limits and good practice
- It does not gather news, check sources or browse the web. It only rewrites what you give it into article form.
- It does not verify your facts. Responsibility for accuracy, permissions to quote and legal review stays with you and your editor.
- With allegations or crimes it uses cautious wording, but it is not legal advice. Have sensitive stories reviewed before publication.
- Each article uses credits from your plan, so add the missing facts before you regenerate. See the pricing page, or create an account to draft your first story.
Frequently asked questions
How do you write a news article?
Most news stories use the inverted pyramid. The lead answers who, what, when, where and why, then supporting details follow in order of importance, with background at the end. This tool applies that structure to the facts you paste.
Will the AI invent quotes or details?
No. The article uses only the facts and quotes in your notes. If something essential is missing, such as a date or a source, it writes a placeholder in square brackets for you to complete. Always read the result against your notes before publishing.
What is the difference between a news article and a press release?
A news article is neutral and attributes claims to sources, as a journalist would. A press release is written by an organization to announce its own news. For that format, use the Press Release tool.
Can I use it for stories about crimes or accusations?
It applies cautious wording, such as "allegedly" or "according to investigators", and never states that someone is guilty. That reduces risk but does not replace editorial and legal review before publication.
Can I control the length of the news story?
Only as an upper limit. The length setting caps the article, it is not a target, so the story ends when your facts are covered, with no padding. A short brief gives a short news item. To write a longer feature from more material, try the SEO Article tool.
