Explanation

Journalists term the inverted pyramid as a news writing activity. The inverted pyramid carries the most important facts on the top and give less importance to the least important facts. It is known as an inverted pyramid because the order of facts arrangement can be depicted as an upside – down pyramid. The first paragraph is known as lead and it contains the important facts such as who, what, when, where, why and how (5W's and 1 H). The introduction paragraph should not be dependent on the following paragraphs for any explanation. The news release also follows the structure of an inverted pyramid.
