(From Pg. “A4″, Big new drones could reach Iran) “TEL NOF AIR FORCE BASE, Israel — Israel’s air force on Sunday introduced a fleet of huge pilotless planes that can remain in the air for a full day and could fly as far as the Persian Gulf, putting rival Iran within its range.”
The article’s lead answers who (Israel’s air force), what (introduced a fleet of pilotless plans), and where (in Israel).
(From Pg. “A4″, Garment work may be the key to rebuilding) “PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Jordanie Pinquie Rebeca leans forward and guides a piece of suit-jacket wool and its silky lining into a sewing machine, where they’re bound together to be hemmed.
If she does this for eight hours, she will earn $3.09. Her boss will ship the pinstriped suit she helped make to the United States, tariff-free. There a shopper will buy it from JoS.”
Technically the article’s lead could be considered a “snapshot”, I suppose, into the direction of the story. By itself, the lead doesn’t really mean anything to us. It answers a “who” and a “what” but we don’t understand the importance of either until the second sentence.
