One thing that I have noticed through my readings of the textbook is how there is no one formula for Journalism. There may be standard form such as the inverted pyramid and the development of a lead, but Journalism leaves room for creative presentation. One may, if they chose, tell their story in different forms if it fits the needs of the story being told. It is an intriguing idea to me that the form is based off of the necessities of the story. Yes, most stories are told in a conventional way, and that design will almost never fail. But in contrary to that, form can be changed to make a story more effective. One can use bullets, changing paragraph size, as well as rearranging the facts and the order of which the story is told. Whatever it takes to grab the readers eye and keep them reading is the correct style and formation for an article.
