Newsroom Word Search, free printable PDF preview

A story begins as a tip, survives an editor, collects a dateline across the top, and only then becomes print. Every stage of that journey is buried somewhere in these letters, INVESTIGATE and HEADLINES included.

Call it a newsroom word find if that is the phrase you grew up with. The grid does not mind and the answer key still fits on one page.

Frequently asked questions

What does a dateline actually tell the reader?

It names the city a reporter filed from, which quietly signals whether the person writing was really standing there.

Why are TRUTH and DEMOCRACY sitting in a list of publishing terms?

They are the reason the rest of the list exists at all, so they have as much claim to the grid as the ink and the deadlines.
