Summary:

The lead is vitally important to the story. And there is some common types of feature leads:

Allusion leads	These leads give the reader a reference to a character from history, literature or mythology and relate that reference to what is going on in the story.
Anecdotal leads	This type of lead uses a brief story to represent the universal experience.
Contrast leads	These leads point out opposites, such as hot and cold, wet and dry, rich and poor, then and now. They work when the contrast is obvious and it relates to the subject of the story.
Parody leads	A well-known song, poem, phrase or title can be re-written to begin your story, if the reference is clear
Narrative lead	Through reading the lead, the reader feels as though he or she is in the middle of the action.
Descriptive lead	The lead can describe a person, a place or an event.
Startling statement lead	This type of lead consists of a single statement which is designed to startle the reader, then, in subsequent paragraphs, it goes on to explain the situation.
Question lead	Use this type of lead with caution. Translation: almost never. Unless the question is very relevant, the lead will appear contrived and cliché.
Quotation lead	Again a caveat. Use with caution. If the quote is extremely powerful and dynamic and really captures the theme of the story, then perhaps it could be used as the lead. However, it might be better to make it the first quote following the lead.

 

The Body of the Story:

Some of the techniques which help sustain a piece are:

1.       Repetition of core themes, metaphors and figurative language.

2.       Varying sentence and paragraph length and pace.

3.       Consider the point of view.

The End of the Story

There are several ways to end the story.     

End on a powerful quote.

 End with an anecdote

Summarize the story in the final paragraph briefly.

 Circle back to the lead.

Reflection :

When studying a subject, there are numerous things that may be used as reflection for oneself. Thousands of chances for thought are presented by understanding how news is obtained, including how to conduct good interviews, communicate effectively, and turn facts into news that is factual and convincing. I've also discovered via news reporting that factual reporting, as opposed to merely opinion, is based on facts that represent reality.
