How does the news article follow the inverted triangle format?
The article follows the news pyramid to T. The introduction to story gives out all the necessary context, such as who is involved ,what is happening, where it is happening, when it is happening, and the reason for it happening.
The subsequent paragraphs make up the body, and give more detail on the tax itself, and people's opinions on it, by referencing interviews.
Lastly the article gives more relevant context, such as responses from the government and its controversies.
INVERTED PYRAMID VS CRIMINAL PLEA
The inverted news pyramid closely mirrors the structure of the criminal plea, although it is missing the more argumentative aspects of the latter. Both start with an introduction, giving the audience relevant context and information, continue with a body that gives out more detailed information, lastly elaborating on previous points with the tail.
The news pyramid is purposefully less argumentative than the criminal plea, as it doesn't include aspects such as the proposition and refutation. This is sensible, as the criminal plea is meant to be persuasive, and influence people's actions and views. Reporting should try to be as objective as possible, and people should come to their own conclusions based on the information presented.
