Made to Stick (Chip Heath)


The first sentence of a news article should contain most essential elements of the story. This is called a lead. The information gets gradually less critical further in the story. This is the inverted pyramid structure. This means a reader with a short attention span will get most of the information someone with a longer attention span would and also makes editing for brevity easier, as you can just lob off the bottom of the piece without losing critical information.
