INVERT PYRAMID WRITING
The inverted pyramid is a metaphor used
by journalists and other writers to illustrate
how information should be prioritised and
structured in prose (e.g., a news report). It is
a common method for writing news
stories and has wide adaptability to other
kinds of texts, such as blogs, editorial
columns and marketing factsheets. It is a
way to communicate the basics about a
topic in the initial sentences. The inverted
pyramid is taught to mass
communication and journalism students, and
is systematically used in English-
language media.
