Good essays start with their thesis, expand upon that, and conclude by bringing it back to it.
There is no reason journalism should veer away from a format that works for one goal (information dissemination), unless there are other goals at play (longer engagement).
Perhaps novels should be written in the inverted triangle format.
Perhaps there's a difference between fiction and non-fiction
I think the author can decide how they wish to present their work
