    A conventional summary lead is the most common type of lead in journalism and aims to provide a quick one-sentence summary that contains most of the key details of who, what, when, where, why and how. A grammatical beginning lead introduces the summary using a grammatical phrase or clause to emphasize an aspect, with the important details of who, what, when, etc. contained in the main clause rather than the introductory grammatical element. These two leads - the summary lead and grammatical beginning lead - are traditional approaches to introducing a news story concisely.

    Conventional Leads/ summary leads

    A summary lead is the most common and traditional lead in journalism. It is meant to give a


    quick summary in as few words as possible and is usually one sentence. It contains most of the
    5Ws (who, what, when, where, why) and the H (how). This lead focuses on just one or two
    elements of a summary lead

    Grammatical Beginning Lead

    Grammatical Beginning Lead There are times when the lead is introduced by a kind


    of grammatical form which is usually a phrase or a clause used to emphasize a feature. Here,
    the important W's are found in the main clause, not in the introductory or subordinate clause
    which is just a modifying feature
