Passing your news writing exam comes down to memorizing one specific shape. It is called the
Inverted Pyramid and it is the cheat code for journalism. Forget everything you learned in creative
writing because in news, you have to dump the spoilers—the Who,
What, When, Where, and Why—in the very first sentence.
If you save the best for last, you fail. You need to be objective, meaning your personal
opinion is illegal here. Whether it is hard news or a soft feature, if it is not verified,
it is not news. Just keep your web writing scannable and your facts straight, and you will crush
this semester.
