What makes a report different than an article?

Answer 1

In general, the audiences and the content are different. You write an article for the public usually... you put in interesting facts, and things that will appeal to readers who aren't that familiar with the subject... has to appeal to a wider audience. The ultimate goal of an article is to sell papers, so you try to make it accurate, but not dry. Most articles will have a narrower focus than the average report. A report on the other hand is usually written either for an instructor, or for a committee. They usually have a little bit more knowledge about whatever subject they want you to write about, and expect more details and a greater amount of information, sometimes on a very deep level. This can get dry, but since the ultimate purpose of a report is the information, not selling it, accurate information is more important than holding the reader's interest... and in fact, the reader's interest may be held just because of the subject matter, because you rarely, if ever, write a report that hasn't been requested by someone specifically. Reports usually have a broader focus than articles, and their aim is to grasp the overall picture, rather than focusing in on a specific problem or interest area within the topic. Both should be accurate and cover the topic... you are just writing to different audiences who are going to be interested in different aspects of the issue, so the focus and the depth are going to change, based on the audience. Incidentally, if you are asking about the difference between "an" and "a" (since they were capitalized in the original question), the difference is that you use "an" before a vowel sound (apple or hour), and "a" before a non-vowel sound (peach or pneumonia).

Answer 2

A journal is a record of events it is written on a daily or weekly basis.

A report generally involves presenting your investigation and analysis of information or an issue, recommending actions and making proposals.

Answer 3

An opinion piece is just that, the opinions of the writer. While it will likely contain general truths and elements of fact, it does not typically contain complete and specific details or firsthand evidence. Opinion pieces are often biased too.

A news report is when someone attempts to go out with an unbiased mind and speak to everyone they can that has information on the story. The goal is to collect evidence and report it, not interpret it nor explain more than is necessary to understand what is shared. The opinions shared would usually be those of the people involved or directly impacted by the events in the story, while an editorial or opinion piece contains mostly the opinions of the writer.

There are times when the lines are blurred. Sometimes news reports are quite biased, and sometimes editorials contain real facts, though often with names removed.

Answer 4

A report typically provides detailed information on a specific topic or issue, often including data, analysis, and recommendations. Reports usually follow a structured format, such as an executive summary, introduction, methods, findings, and conclusion. On the other hand, an article generally presents information in a more narrative or journalistic style, focusing on conveying ideas, opinions, or news.

Answer 5

An Article Is where You Write About Something In Real Life And A Story Is Something Made Up

Answer 6

The difference between topic and article is that an article is a written work published in a print or electronic medium while a topic is a noun phrase that expresses what a sentence is about.
