Welcome Readers!

We know all ledes matter because they have to "grab" the reader's attention. I've spent more than a decade in journalism and writing a stellar lede has always been a major challenge. Sometimes I read an amazing lede, but I've never taken the time to compile them to re-read later when I have lede-block. So, this blog is meant to serve as a resource for me and any newspaper reporter who needs a little boost at the top. And please, send me your favorite ledes!
