JOURNALISTIC STRUCTURES AND LEADS JOURNALISTIC STRUCTURES AND LEADS LEAD - In journalism, the lead (or lede) is the opening sentence or paragraph of a news article, designed to grab the reader's attention. Here are different types of journalism leads. Journalism structures on the other hand refer to the various ways articles are organized to present information effectively. Different story types and purposes often require different structures. Here are some common journalism structures: 1. Summary or Punch or Straight Lead Provides a concise summary of the most important aspects of the story, often covering the 5 W's (Who, What, Where, When, Why) and sometimes How. A good lead incorporates the inverted pyramid style with the most important facts first. It tells readers what they want to know in a creative manner. If the reader only read the lead, he or she would have a solid grasp of the story. The above accident report can be written in a straight lead. Journalists often resort to summary leads pressed for time. 2. Anecdotal or Quotation Lead Begins with a short, personal story or anecdote that relates to the broader topic of the article. It aims to create an emotional connection with the reader. Quotes frequently are the essential documentation for a lead and should be used immediately after a paraphrase that summarises them. Here paraphrasing the verbatim quotation permits the removal of unnecessary words. But if a verbatim quotation itself is very important or interesting, it can be the lead itself. 3. Descriptive Lead Paints a vivid picture of a scene or setting reader in before introducing the new. It focuses on creating a sensory experience. A descriptive lead describes how an event happened rather than simply telling what the event is about. Eyewitness accounts can provide the background for writing lucid descriptions which help the reader to visualize a new situation 4. Question Lead Begins with a direct question to pique the reader's curiosity, making them want to keep reading to find the answer. Many editors dislike question lead on the basis that people read newspapers to get answers, and not to be asked questions. But if the question is provocative, it may be used as a lead 5. Contrasting Lead Highlights a contrast or paradox to grat attention, often using "but" or "yet" to juxtapose two opposing ideas. 6. Delayed Lead Keeps the reader in suspense by providing details gradually, with the most important information revealed later in the paragraph or article. 7. Single-Item Lead Focuses on just one or two elements of the story rather than giving a full overview. 8. First-Person Lead Used in features or opinion pieces, this lead involves the writer's personal experience or observation. 9 Personal lead involves the use of the first person singular in the lead. Normally such a use is iscouraged except for a columnist or such privileged writers. 10. 'You' lead (or Direct Address lead) he You' lead is intended to make a personal appeal to the reader involved in a omplicated situation. The second-person approach reaches out to involve the zader and capture his/her attention. Here is an example, fairly typical of a trend award consumerism in the news. 11. Gag (or funny) lead journalist who writes a funny story put up the saddest face in a newsroom. surnalistic hUmour requires the skilled and practice. 12. Literary allusion lead parallelling the construction of a nursery rhyme or part of a well-known literary reation can add to variety.
