News help

The Web Office maintains an online newsroom for highlighting news and activities at UWA.

Creating and editing news items is a straightforward process. A clean writing style will help you create a story that people will want to read.

Writing tips

  • Provide enough information in the introduction to make the reader want to continue.
  • Write the introduction so it can stand alone.
  • In news articles, use quotes to change the voice of the article and keep it interesting.
  • To avoid confusion, use full dates (such as Monday, 23 March instead of next week).
  • Always write in the active voice.
  • Use sentence case in the title.
