Inverted pyramid

The traditional news story format that has a packed lede that provides the most essential information about a story to the readers.

Here's the definition from Don Murray.

"Traditional news stories that tell the reader the most important news first, the next important news next, and so on. If space is needed, these stories can be cut from the bottom right up to the lead paragraph, which is packed with the most important information."
