"The Reversed Triangle"

This means in journalism and news, that you start your case/news show with the conclusion first. This is a style that is sometimes also referred to as ´Front-Loading´, Which all in all means that all of the most important information regarding the case and/or news show is put first. This gives either the reader or in this case viewer a chance to get a quick summary of what type of content they are about to see. This should catch and intrigue them to stay put, but it also helps the viewer in the way of getting a quick establishment that helps them to make a quick decision on whether to keep watching, switch to the next channel or simply just not pay attention to the TV.


- When we talk or tell, we have to do it in this order - First, then, thereafter, and finally.

E.g; First we are going to see this youtube video of kittens, then we will talk to Mr. Pringle from the cat shelter. Thereafter we are going to see a reportage about lost and found cats that has turned up at the shelter, and finally, we will see how one of the cats have got a new life in its new adoptive home.

Order to go by;
- First, the consequences of the action that takes/took place
- Then, what we see as the most important
- Thereafter;
- Background
- Pre-history
- Commentary
- and at last, details
