Writing a news lead (lede)

Rosenburg story

who- orphans of the cold war
what- pearents were executed
when-1953
why- for delivering atomic bomb secrets to the soviet union
how- they were executed

THE LEAD SENTENCE- "They were the most famous orphans of the cold war, only 6 and 10 years old in 1953 when their parents were executed at Sing Sing for delivering atomic-bomb secrets to the Soviet Union."

MY LEAD SENTENCE- " as there were many orphans in the cold war this pair was especially interesting because when they were only 6 and 10 the parents were executed for leaking some secrets about the atomic bomb to the soviet union.  


Superman story


who- superman fans and comic book collectors and fisher (seller)
what- superman comics
when-friday0
where-comicconnetct.com
why- to see how much money people will bid
how- internet


THE LEAD SENTENCE- " (CNN) -- After being hidden away for years, a copy of the original "Action Comics No. 1" comic book, featuring Superman and friends, will make a comeback -- to the tune of about $400,000, a comic expert told CNN Thursday."

MY LEAD SENTENCE-  After only making a hundred copies and being put away for years fishler has decide to see how much its worth going on the market as of Friday the bidding has all ready gone up to 400,000 dollars.
