The false statement about the body of a newspaper article is:
**"The information in the body is presented in order from least important to most important."**
In journalistic writing, particularly in the inverted pyramid style, the most important information is usually presented at the beginning, and subsequent details are organized in descending order of importance. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the body is presented from least important to most important.
