In
journalism, the Five Ws (also known as the Five Ws (and one H) or simply the Six Ws) is a concept in
news style,
research, and in
policeinvestigations that most people consider to be fundamental. It is a formula for getting the "full" story on something. The
maxim of the Five Ws (and one H) is that in order for a report to be considered complete it must answer a checklist of six questions, each of which comprises an
interrogative word:
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
Why?
How?
The principle underlying the maxim is that each question should elicit a factual answer — facts that it is necessary to include for a report to be considered complete. Importantly, none of these questions can be answered with a simple "yes" or "no".
In the context of the "news style" for newspaper reporting, the Five Ws are types of facts that should be contained in the "lead" (sometimes spelled lede to avoid confusion with the typographical term "leading" or similarly spelled words), or first two or three paragraphs of the story, after which more
expository writing is allowed.
The "Five Ws" (and one H) were memorialized by
Rudyard Kipling in his "
Just So Stories" (
1902), in which a poem accompanying the tale of "The Elephant's Child" opens with:
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
Introduction
Hello. I grew up in this
Boston suburb, where I attended this
school and in this Florida West Coast
county, where I graduated from this
high school. I now live on the Florida East Coast. I have also lived in western New York, Ohio, North Carolina, South Carolina and Vermont. My American ancestors settled in the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania and in Ohio before statehood. One of them was a militia captain in this
locality in the
American Revolution. I hold
dual citizenship in the
United States and
Ireland. My graduate school nickname was the same as the name of this
town. My family name is the same as the name of this
place. My childhood summers were spent at
Gurnet Point, Massachusetts, Otter River State Forest in
Baldwinville, Massachusetts and/or Camp Sangamon in
Pittsford, Vermont.

I award you this Barnstar for your solid, witty, creative, supportive, learned, timely, cheerful, eloquent, and/or otherwise generally great contributions on U. S. National Historic Landmarks' articles. Yippee o yay, we pretty much met our goal of a well-started article for each of
2,442 NHLs by today!
Thanks, and have a great Fourth of July! --
Doncram, 4 July 2008
It's been my privilege to work with you, before and since, but especially for your work in
List of NHLs in SC, which encouraged me immensely about the potential accomplishments when several of us work together. Thanks!

My Ohio connection
Through my mother, I'm a direct descendant of Capt. Martin Weybright, III, and his wife, Elizabeth (Geiger) Weybright, from
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, via
Brothersvalley Township, Pennsylvania, who settled near
Dayton sometime before statehood in 1803. The former
Madison Township, Montgomery County, Ohio, was organized in their living room. Their grandson Samuel settled in
Beamsville in
Darke County. Except for my mother who was born in nearby
Miami County, everyone between Samuel and me was born in Darke County. Samuel and his wife had many children who married into other Darke County families, so I'm related in some way to many people in Darke County and southwestern Ohio. One of the families they married into in my direct line was from
Wayne County via
Holmes County. My mother's father was an
M.D. who had graduated from what is now
Ohio State University College of Medicine. She went to grade school in
Ludlow Falls,
Cincinnati and
Glencoe. For high school she was a boarding student at Muskingum Academy on the campus of
Muskingum College in
New Concord. She went to college at Ohio State. Her brother and one of his daughters and her son all went to
Ohio University, while his other daughter went to
Kent State University. Some cousins from
Greenville went to
Ohio Northern University. One of my brothers was born in Glencoe.
Bloomingville is the only place in Ohio where I've ever lived. My father was working for Huffman Manufacturing Company (now
Huffy) in Dayton at the time and came up on the weekends.
Introductory physics for majors. Unfortunately, he was commuting to Stanford for research work, so the class was usually handled by graduate assistants. He moved to Stanford in the fall of 1959.
I arrived at night at the Macuto Sheraton from Canaima. The next morning the QEII which had arrived during the night was anchored offshore, since she was too big to enter the harbor.
Below is a flag table of the countries I have visited. I have visited all 50 states and
Washington, D.C. in the
United States as well as all 67 counties in my adopted state of
Florida. I have also visited 28 of the 32 counties of
Ireland. The ones I've miseed are the four in the southeast:
Carlow,
Kilkenny,
Waterford and
Wexford.
