Some people feel that newspapers should abandon the inverted pyramid story structure and find a way to give their readers the news faster like television and radio does. Although it is true that television and radio release their news events fast they are not always detailed. Many people value the paper. I know personally I’ll listen to a news story on the TV and then go to the paper to get the accurate and descriptive details. The story structure in papers is almost comforting. You always know you have a reliable and consistent place to get your news. I know many people who would rather read the paper than listen to the radio or the television because they do not have to listen to the opinions or biases of the news reporters. Newspapers should keep the inverted pyramid structure so the traditional way of getting news stays in tact. The newspaper is what started it all so without it there would be no radio or television. Television and radio are great for informing important events that are occurring at that very moment. For example, without TV and radio on September 11 so many people would have been in more of a panic due to being uninformed. All three mediums are so important to our society but each has their own benefits and disadvantages. The fast pace news on TV and radio benefits us in so many ways but the traditional style of the inverted pyramid will always be able to provide us with the most accurate news.
