Document Format Description

News article. The article is written in the "inverted pyramid" style, with the breaking news reported first, followed by other supporting details, the bigger picture and then any other past background that is less important. It begins with a headline and a lede summarizing the main event. This is followed by a body that provides details, including quotes, context, and relevant statistics, and ends by reporting any subsequent or related events. Additional sections may include references to related articles or topics.
