FEATURED
Traditional lead in a journalism article.
Traditional lead in a journalism article.
The summary lead is the most traditional lead in a journalism article. It is to the point and factual. It's meant to give a reader a quick summary of the story in as few words as possible (should be 30 words or less), usually in one sentence. It contains the essence of the story (i.e. the most important, but not necessarily all, of the 5 Ws and who, what, when, where, why and how). It cites the source of any opinions.
