The first thing you need to do is to understand the technology.Its always better to understand about the technology first. Its same thing when a physics teacher goes to class and tells them what E=MC2. He understands himself first and then explains. Remember technology is not an easy thing to say. If you want to just say ” Apple made an iphone” its pretty simple but its always better to understand what makes an apple phone rock. The stronger you are on understanding the better you will write.SecondHave a quick line before you start.Always provide a small summary or quick line before you actually get down the news.
This will give advantage to both to your readers and you. Many people tend not to read the whole news unless they know whats inside it. This feature i have seen any many news channel. They give a small brief of what the news is. You can always accumulate some important things in it. Say for an example “Halo 3 is going to be released on 25th September”. Now this gives a catch to the reader what you will be writing.Last but not the least Validate your article.Its always a good idea to validate your news or article with strong links or images or e books depending on your choice. Not everybody is a tech writer or an engineer to know every point about it. So even if you are writing “how lintel processor works” there is no problem. But then you got to have some proof to convince your readers. Always use some images videos or links that can make them understand what you say is right. This helps you even more if somebody really geeky drops down on your blog and shoots you some question. You never know he might promote you if you have answered him well.
