Whether it is the latest belly-aching meme or a riveting science fiction novel, entertainment articles can engage a wide audience. However, writing an article that will entertain takes more than just a topic that appeals to the masses. A well written article should use the techniques discussed in our previous writing guide to paint a picture with words, engaging all of the senses.

A well-written article about entertaiment should also take into account the age, location, and purpose of the readership. Asking yourself questions like “who will read this article,” “what do they want to know,” and “why do they want to read this article?” will help shape the content of your article. It will also help you decide on the best way to format your article. For example, if you’re writing about a popular activity such as karaoke, talk about the best karaoke bars in your area to let readers know where they can go to have some fun.
