This news is about 5 students who were detained for alleged drug trafficking in a raid at a house in Kampung Tandiap, Seberang Ramai, Kuala Perlis. This news is newsworthy because it's something new. Other than that, this news draws public interest. As a reader and a student I would read this news just because its about something serious and it involves students.
In my opinion, I think that the title is acceptable because the readers can already get an idea on what is the news about. The news is very short and informative. The author of the article answered the questions from 5 w's & H. But the author could not reveal the identities of the five. This could be due to their age because most probably they would be young as they are all students.
Readers would follow up on this story to know their identities. Not only that, readers will be curious to know more about their trial in court. Third of all, readers will want to know the five's source or dealer.

This news is about a 27-year-old man who was
detained by the police for possession of drugs worth RM700,000 in Pandan
Indah,Ampang. This news is newsworthy because it’s shocking to see such a big
figure on the title. Not only that, the location plays a major part in hooking
the readers to this particular news. Lastly the magnitude of the number on the
title attracts the readers. People don’t get caught every day for drug
possession, especially when it involves such a big amount.
In my opinion, the title was appropriate for the news. It was short and
understandable. The article was teaser like, revealing the news slowly. It even
had details on the suspect as it was stated that he was a loan shark. Not all
the questions from the 5 w’s & H were answered in the article. Who wasn’t answered
as the police do not want to reveal the suspects identification yet. The author
of this article was straight forward. There were enough points for the readers
to understand the article thoroughly.
One of the main points for the follow ups would be through reader’s curiosity
to know whether or not the suspect will be convicted. The second point would be
to know his accomplices. The final point would be to know the suspects
identity.
