What is a newspaper draft?

A newspaper draft is a document containing the first version of a newspaper article or news story. It comprises a brief summary of the main idea or key points planned to be covered in the article. Typically, newspaper drafts are written by reporters or journalists after gathering initial information about the event, interviews, or quotes. The draft aims to provide an outline of the article's structure, key facts, and potential angles to help the writer develop the full story while ensuring that the most relevant information is captured.
