How can you pull techniques out of a news article?
Like you do with everything else. More commonly featured ones would be alliteration, hyperbole, simile, simple diction, colloquialism, metonymy, synecdoche, auxesis, litotes, assonance, anaphora, truncation, isocolons, deesis, intertextuality, irony, oxymorons, paradox, puns, malapropism (less common), sobriquet, spondee.

Go forth and multiply.

:confused:Haven't heard of half of them.

You have the regular ones. But the easiest ones are rhetorical questions and allegories as there is someone telling an account of the incident in the article.
