Will I Ever Get This Right?


Local Penn State Behrend Student loses hope after 15 weeks of class.

Is that a good enough summary lead?

We have come to the end of the semester! It’s safe to say that I have successfully made it through or not? For some reason week after week in class and on this blog the topic has been………SUMMARY LEADS! For some reason I can’t seem to write a good lead, I can write headlines but not leads, I can write a news story but not a lead? But what is a new story without the first 25-30 words!  After weeks of incorrectly written leads, poorly written leads, and leads weren’t even written to begin with. I hear by announce that my thing of not only for this week, but for this semester is how to write a lead! If I do not learn anything else from my basic news writing course it will be how to write a lead. Hopefully I can remember to include who, what, when, where, why, and how on my last test. May the summary lead writing Gods be with me!
