The one thing that I learned this week in COMM 160 was all about writing leads for news stories. I learned that the lead is not like a headline and it has to be a complete sentence. I also learned that the lead needs to be interesting, informative and, most importantly, draw in the attention of readers. If the lead of a story has no potential to grab the attention of a reader then it is most likely not a good lead.
