<![CDATA[This research was motivated by the low news writing skills of seventh-grade students in class VII G at SMP Negeri 2 Pontianak. Students had difficulty identifying main ideas, developing news content, and learning was still teacher-centered, leading to low student engagement, so 50% of students scored below the Learning Achievement Criteria (KKTP) of 75. This study aimed to improve news writing skills through the application of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model assisted by Wordwall media. The research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) with the Kemmis and McTaggart model, carried out in two cycles, including planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects numbered 30 students. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, tests, and documentation. The research results showed an improvement in news writing skills, with average scores of 62.33 in the pre-cycle, 69.16 in the first cycle, and 76.83 in the second cycle. The completion percentage increased from 30% to 53.3% and then reached 86.7%. So, using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model with Wordwall media effectively improves students' news writing skills.]]>
