Breaking: Pitt Has A Class On Vampires (Also Something About Three Starters Being Charged With Assault)

The AP more often than not still uses a time-tested format called the inverted pyramid, in which the most basic and crucial facts are placed at the top, with increasingly peripheral details as you read down. The idealist says it’s so readers get the important stuff early, even if they don’t read to the end of the story. But really it’s so lazy editors, if pressed for space, can just cut paragraphs from the bottom.

Well, this is the internet, where space isn’t a at premium. And this AP story, nominally about three Pitt football players charged with assault, is a perfect example of burying the lede. If I were on the desk, I probably would have rewritten it in the exact reverse order. Something like this:

Holy crap, Pittsburgh has a class on vampires!
