I don't know what your text says, but in general, premodern reporting styles was much wordier and had more personal opinions. Modern style uses the inverted pyramid style with the lead paragraph including all or most of the 5 w's -- who, what, where, when, why (and sometimes how).
We'll be glad to check your work when you've completed the assignment.
What are the differences between premodern and modern reporting styles,
as found on p. 27 of the text, Media & Culture?
Select or create an historic event and compose:
- A headline and the first two or three sentences of the news article
that would carry the story of that event in premodern style
- A headline and the first two or three sentences of the news article
that would carry the story of that event in modern style.
Ensure that both sets address the same historic event.

Since we do not have access to your text, we have no idea what is there. Also, there exists premodern Chinese and Japanese style in Literature. Are you referring to those?
