In journalism, there is a concept called the inverted pyramid. The idea is to disseminate the most important information first—the top-level, headline information that readers or viewers need to know—without burdening them with potentially unnecessary detail. From there, further context is given, and then even further secondary or tertiary information after that to flesh out the story.
Normally, I would write about the score of the Kansas City Royals game, but that is not the story tonight. No; the big information about tonight is that Adalberto Mondesi hit his first home run of the year against Zach Plesac, of all people.
