What Is the Upside-down Pyramid?
At the top of the pyramid, there is the Most Newsworthy Info which is: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? In the middle of the pyramid, it is important details and other general information — background information. At the bottom is the conclusion which is information that is nice to have but not critical. Usually, it is a summary of what the article is about.
