Special News Leads

1st special news lead: I found this special news lead on fox news. It is a story on an amusement park that has new rides and roller coasters. The news lead that was used for this story was a staccato. I think that this news lead is perfect for this piece because it builds up the suspense of the new rides for the readers.

2ND special news lead: I found the second special news lead on fox news as well. This story talks about North Koreans possibly selling nuclear weapons to other countries, and the possibility of North Korea refusing to sell nuclear weapons, therefore other countries forming their own nuclear plan. I found it interesting that this story had two special leads, both a staccato and a question lead. I don't think that either of these leads were the best for the topic of the story. I think a traditional summary news lead would have been more effective because of the serious subject of the story.
