Our most recent assignment was to read Chapter 4 of ATN in order to learn more about lead structure and short reports. Lead structures tend to be very specific and are generally only a sentence long. They are used as an opening to more information about a story. It can grab a reader’s attention, and help a reader decide if the story is worth reading further or not. Short reports are altogether extremely short, but tend to give the most important information to the audience as quickly as possible.
An example of a lead structure can be found on the baltimoresun.com website. This story discusses using Garrett County’s resources for gas. With the recent storm having just hit, gas prices are going up. A brief introduction that goes f
urther into the discussion of leases, it can be very informative for anyone who lives in that area.
Also found on the baltimoresun.com website is an example of a short report. This short report involves a local bank in Baltimore County being in support of a four-day work week. It tells you what is happening and who is involved in a simple paragraph.
Information is delivered to us in many styles and learning how to properly use them will go a long way in a future career as a journalist.
