The tyranny of the inverted pyramid in most journalists’ minds right now is one of my recurring bugbears. It’s a product of print, and of the working techniques needed to get words onto paper in a timely fashion. But people can’t seem to move beyond it in the digital era.

This [lovely post from Poynter](http://www.poynter.org/latest-news/top-stories/143253/an-introduction-to-comics-journalism-in-the-form-of-comics-journalism/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) reminds us that many more formats have been used for journalism than we acknowledge.

Journalism format conservatism: just say no. 😉
