 * lede
 * Finding Ledes* // Fundamentals of Journalism
 * The first paragraph of a news story is the lede. It is often just one sentence, but it can be two.
 * * Lede is often spelled lead. The odd spelling was adopted when newspaper type was set in lead. To keep from confusing the word for the metal with the word for the beginning sentence, the spelling "lede" was used.
