I really miss the days of the "inverted triangle" in journalism. Also the 5 Ws+H.
Seems like it sometimes takes writers a very long time to reveal facts + underlying points.
We don't have infinite time to slog thru personalized openings, justifications for writing a piece, or any other detail that prevents the reader from understanding exactly what the author means to get at, up front.
I'm old. My time here is short. Tell it to me straight. Thanks.

If you’re traveling through Illinois in the near future, be aware of road conditions. Right now most roads in central and southern Illinois are hazardous.
