Describe how a particular form of entertaiment engages the senses. This technique, known as “showing” instead of telling,” helps to paint a clear picture for the reader. Be sure to describe what the characters are seeing, hearing, smelling, and tasting, as well as feeling. Engaging all the senses in an entertainment article will enhance the reader’s experience and make your writing more successful.
Research the subject of your article. If you are writing about a celebrity, for example, check out authorized biographies and television talk shows to find out the latest news about the person you’re writing about. Be careful not to make accusations or implications about a celebrity that could be considered libel, as this can damage the reputation of both you and the person you’re criticizing.
If you are an avid sports fan, then talking about a new release of a riveting science fiction book or the upcoming Oscars is a great way to entertain your audience.
