Jake Gisondi gives this advice in his article. He says that you should:
1. Introduce conflict into the story, but it doesn't have to be resolved. This is very important.
2. Decide on a definitive news angle before writing your story.
3. Make sure to describe the setting whenever possible. It adds coherence to the story.
4. Develop your pivotal main character. Give them complexity to captivate the readers.
5. Try not to interject yourself into the story so much. Give an omniscient tone that mimics most novels.
6. Cut out scenes that don't further the story being covered. No-one likes a time waster.
7. Be fair in your descriptions of people. This doesn't mean that you have to be neutral all the time, just covering most aspects of the person's story.
8. Keep a "Beginning Middle and End" format. Again, mimic a story being told.
