Find That Lead Exercise

1)      Scene-setter Leads

 

Patients without Border

By Sara Corbett New York Times

 

        Long before the dentists and the doctors got there, before the nurses, the hygienists and X-ray techs came, before anyone had flicked on the portable mammography unit or sterilized the day’s first set of surgical instruments, the people who needed them showed up to wait. It was 3 a.m. at the Wise County Fairgrounds in Virginia — Friday, July 20, 2007 — the start of a rainy Appalachian morning. Outside the gates, people lay in their trucks or in tents pitched along the grassy parking lot, waiting for their chance to have their medical needs treated at no charge — part of an annual three-day “expedition” led by a volunteer medical relief corps called Remote Area Medical.

2)      Direct Address Leads

 

Lawyer: Woman who got HIV wasn’t told organ donor was risk

By Charles Rex Arbogast USA Today

  1. You found a good scene-setting lead, but your second lead is not a “direct address” lead. Take another look at the example on p. 44 in the text.
