Inverted Pyramid Structure
The Inverted Pyramid Structure in journalism means to write all your main topics or everything that you are going to talk about, minus the details at the start of your article. In Inverted Pyramid Structure you state all the crucial information first. And then the less important, and then the least important. Inverted pyramid structure helps alot when writing articles.
An example of inverted pyramid structure is if you were writing about a baseball game. First you could write about the score and what happened , who was playing against who, who made the winning move. And then you can write about where the game took place. Lastly, you can write about what kind of food was there or the souveneirs they sold there
I will use the Inverted Pyramid Structure a lot in journalism. It will remind me to stay on topic, always to write the main information FIRST. You always write the main idea first because you want the reader to know what this article will be about. You want the reader to know what the main idea is right away. The key to holding your audience’s attention is to hit them with a good headline and then fill out the rest of the article with sub-headings to keep them scanning all the way to the end
The inverted pyramid Structure not only an easy and important way for professional journalists to give fast important imformation to their readers but it is also important to my class
because we could help our classmates with their work and to write better in their own.
