North Somerset Times

This news story follows the Inverted Pyramid Model as the structure of the way it has been written has started with the most important by informing the readers where the situation is happening, who is causing the problem and when it is going to happen. Once this has been stated the main information is then given like the quotes from the people involved and what is going to happen to resolve the problem with the developers. The rest of the information has then been stated at the end. This is done so that readers are able to skim the news story and only read half way and understand the main plot of the story and what it is about.

The Portsmouth News

This news story in the Portsmouth News is slightly different as it is shorter than an average news story. Therefore the Inverted Pyramid Model isnt used as much due to readers not having to skim the text due to it only being 2 paragraphs long. Therefore the start of the news story summarises the title of the article and then where the event was held. The remaining information is just explaining what happened.

The Bath Chronicle

I have noticed that in the majority of news stories the first sentence will usually summarise the title of the article. This news story follows the Inverted Pyramid Model as the 5 ws have been mentioned which makes sure all of the important information is mentioned in the news stories. For example the where is Bath and North East Somerset and what is that businesses in that area have got top prizes for being good entrepreneurs. There fore the Inverted Pyramid proves to work for journalists writing news stories as they have stuck with using it when writing their news stories.
