Why is it called the Lede-ing story?
The lede is a journalistic writing term that refers to the opening sentence or paragraph of a news story. It's used to summarise the most important aspects of the story. Given that we wish to have conversations on media literacy and journalism, we went with a punny name that can get us started!
Bonus tip: For a simple structure to write a lede, look at the words underlined in the headings of this concept note, and use them to tell your readers details about your stories!
