Your task
Order the lines from most important to least.
- In an inverted pyramid, the main facts come first and details and background follow.
- Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
- Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
- Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
- Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.
In real life
The inverted pyramid lets readers (and editors) cut a story from the bottom without losing the main facts.
