1 min readOct 13, 2020
- Need to stay up to date
- Inverted pyramid- order of our information when writing a story
- Important info first
- Lead sentence/ paragraph are the same (most important info)
- Second paragraph- expand
- Then move onto body
- Ending happens when you’ve given all info
- Lead- who, what, where, when, how
- Straight news lead- doesn’t have a lot of components, hard news
- Just the facts, don’t embellish
-Summary lead- around 30 words, gist of story
- Blind lead- don’t need to use names
