Lead Writing Most journalists think the news lead is the most important part of the news story. It is an art work of concise information that captures the gist of a news story in one or two sentences.

Lead Writing Depending on the nature of the story and its driving news elements, a lead can focus on one or a few of the six question words:

Lead Writing Hat Banning: One Story, Six Possible Leads Who? The Newark Valley Board of Education members passed a resolution last night banning the wearing of hats in all school district buildings. What? Hat wearing was banned in all school district buildings last night after the Newark Valley Board of Education passed a new resolution.

Lead Writing Where? In Newark Valley last night, the board of education passed a resolution to ban the wearing of hats in all school district buildings. When? Last night, the Newark Valley Board of Education passed a resolution banning hat wearing in all school district buildings.

Lead Writing Too Many Choices? For local news, which is what we will be writing, it is important to know that most readers want to know news in this order:

Lead Writing 1. What happened and what will happen next? 2. Who was involved? And then… When? Where? How? Why?

Try Your Lead Hand Senior Scholar Night at Newark Valley last night. About 250 people showed up. Seniors who applied for and won scholarships were called up to the stage to accept their awards. 7 seniors won scholarships of $1,000 or more and 13 more earned scholarships of at least $500. Punch and cookies were served in the cafeteria after the event, which lasted from 6 until 8:30 p.m. It is the third straight year Newark Valley held such an event. Its become quite a nice evening for parents and teachers and students to get together to celebrate the accomplishments of our young men and women. That statement was taken from Mrs. Grant, who is the superintendent of schools.
