Discussion
Which of the following is a structure of news writing ?
Answer: B
The structure is the hour glass.
The hourglass structure begins like an inverted pyramid, giving the most important facts first, then turns, often with a transitional line, into a chronological narrative of events, so the story is wide at the top, narrow in the middle and widens again. It is one of the standard news-writing structures, alongside the inverted pyramid, the pyramid and the nut graf or Wall Street Journal formula.
'Stop clock' and 'cube' are not news structures, and a hanging indent is a typographical layout in which every line but the first is indented, not a way of organising a story.
