We might write an essay or article using the following structure: Present the problem statement Related or supporting information Methodology- How did something occur? Results Conclusion, outcomes or most important information Journalists, on the other-hand, use an inverted pyramid style of writing. They generally start with the main conclusion or outcomes and get progressively more detailed towards the end of the piece like so: Conclusion or most important information Supporting information Background and technical details Since Web users and email readers typically scan text, using the inverted pyramid form of writing is a good way to get the most important information in front of your readers first. Position your main points (who, what, when, where, why and the how) at the beginning of the article, and then go into more detail towards the end of your piece.
