Is it feasible to blog in 'inverted pyramid'

I came across this term –‘inverted pyramid’ while reading some articles on wikipedia. Writing in ‘inverted pyramid ’ means writing in such a way that , reader can give up reading at any time without losing any grip of the subject. Reader can understand the matter as early as possible.

Most of the news articles are written ‘inverted pyramid’ mode. This helps reporter/writer to keep news simple to understand. Then I thought that why don’t bloggers follow this convention? Well there are ample of reasons for this question. Some of the reasons make a distinction between a blog article and a news article.

Most of the blogs consists of subjects that fall in mainly following domains: tips for doing something, inspirational blog, stories, experiences, personal thoughts, and information about things, hypothetical writing and my favourite countdown list e.g. top 10….

These kind of subjects need elaborated writing as readers are expecting much out of a blog. While, on the other hand, for news papers, there is a need to write articles in such a way that readers can grasp most out of it within minimum time as there are number of news out there for a reader to read on the same subject. Nobody has got time for reading the whole news paper! The number of words that are to be allocated to an news article are limited, same is not the case for blogs. Well for informative news, they don’t follow ‘inverted pyramid’ convention.

For the blogs, there are not a whole bunch of articles available on the same subject. So there is no way bloggers can follow ‘inverted pyramid’ method. Also most readers are intended to read the whole blog.

So you will not find much blogs which give whole thought of blog within first paragraph only. This is the kind of writing that distinguish news articles and blogs.
