2. Choose a reputable news source and select an article
Some of the good places to find topics and articles for a current events essay include New ELA, NY Times, National News, Local news websites, Sports News, The Atlantic, BBC News, Daily Mail, The Economist, The Guardian, Investopedia, Forbes, TIME Magazine, The Harvard Business Review, National Public Radio (NPR), CNN News, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, and other credible news outlets.
The source you select should be reliable, reputable, and credible. It should write well-researched, verified, and trustworthy news. After finding the source, research a fresh article as you write about a current event. Besides, choose an article on the correct topic and ensure it has the right information for your current events paper.
If you are writing a current events paper for a politics class, use the section of the major newspapers that deals with political matters. In the same way, if you are writing on science topics, target the science and technology section of the newspaper for appropriate articles.
Consider choosing from scholarly sources such as empirical journal articles, scholarly books, government documents, or peer-reviewed articles.
3. Read the selected article and take notes
After you have selected the article, read through it severally. In the first few instances, skim through the article to have a rough idea of its contents, then subsequently read as you take notes.
When reading, highlight the critical points within the article. If you are unsure of some vocabulary in the article, use a dictionary and note the contextual meaning of the words.
You should then use the highlighted notes to identify the 5 Ws: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Answer briefly the questions below:

• 
  What happened?
  
• 
  Where did it happen?
  
• 
  When did it happen?
  
• 
  Who was involved?
  
• 
  Why did it happen?
  
• 
  How did it happen?
  

Determining these aspects helps you develop an angle of analysis, develop lead sentences, craft a strong thesis statement, and develop claims and arguments necessary for your current events paper. You can also document your thoughts about the article and its content.
