The session aimed to introduce students to the basic principles of news construction, with materials divided among the group members.
During the presentation, Muhammad Nabhan Afrizal explained the concept of the Inverted Pyramid, a widely used structure in journalism. He described the inverted pyramid as a method of arranging information by placing the most essential facts at the beginning of the news story, followed by supporting details and additional background information.
Nabhan emphasized that this structure helps readers grasp the main point of the news quickly. “Readers today tend to read quickly, so the main information should appear in the opening paragraph,” he stated while discussing the importance of prioritizing crucial details. He also presented a diagram illustrating how the inverted pyramid guides the flow of information from the most important to the least essential.
He further explained that this structure simplifies the editing process, as editors can trim the lower sections of the article without removing key information. Nabhan’s explanation covered the purpose of using the inverted pyramid, its advantages in digital media contexts, and examples of how it is applied in news writing.
Through the is presentation, students gained a clearer understanding of how news stories are structured effectively using the inverted pyramid technique. Nabhan’s explanation highlighted the importance of organizing information clearly and efficiently in journalistic work.
