     Andy,

     Pyramid writing is putting the who, what, where, when, why and sometimes
how, into the first paragraph of your article.  Then in the rest of the
article you expand on each of these.
     Some newspapers and most magazines follow a more modern version of that
type of writing.  All the elements are there but in a less ridged format that
allows the writer to be creative.
