What is the "inverted pyramid"?
The inverted pyramid is a style of writing used in journalism where the most important information is placed at the beginning of a story, followed by supporting details in decreasing order of importance. This structure ensures that readers quickly grasp the key points of the story, even if they do not read the entire article. The most crucial facts, such as who, what, when, where, why, and how, are presented first. Additional details, background information, and less important facts come later, making it easy to shorten the article if needed without losing essential content.
