Hard News- 5 W's and 1 H

The inverted pyramid style places the most fundamental information in the lead paragraph of the storyand then arranges the remaining details, from most important to least important. It is a consolidation of 3 parts, "The Lead", "The Body" and "The Tail". 

The lead contains the most important information about the set story, by ensuring the following questions are answered:-

1) What?

2) Who?

3) Where?

4) When?

5) Why?

6) How?

This golden rule is called 5 W's and 1H. Which I will be using to deliver the most vital information about the following articles.
