Say that a car was driving across a bridge when the structure collapsed. A journalist covers the story by finding out about the driver, detailing his backstory and interviewing him about the experience. This puts a face on the incident, something readers want and need.

To dispel the false sense of knowledge that news stories bestow, learn to read between the lines and ask the unspoken questions.
