http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_style News style (also journalistic style or news writing style) is the prose style used for news reporting in media such as newspapers, radio and television. News style encompasses not only vocabulary and sentence structure, but also the way in which stories present the information in terms of relative importance, tone, and intended audience.

News writing attempts to answer all the basic questions about any particular event - who, what, when, where and why (the Five Ws) and also often how - at the opening of the article. This form of structure is sometimes called the "inverted pyramid," to refer to the decreasing importance of information in subsequent paragraphs.

News stories also contain at least one of the following important characteristics relative to the intended audience: proximity, prominence, timeliness, human interest, oddity, or consequence.

Newspaper Report/Article writing...?

We Answered:

Your headline is just your basic, attention grabbing line about the article. A subheading is generally used for additional information about the article. Let's say you were writing about Yahoo! answers.

Headline: Yahoo! creates new avenue for finding answers
Sub-Head: Users ask about anything from puppies to pregnancy

And the lead is your introduction paragraph. Depending on what style you're following (there are several diff. version for writing an article) it typically includes the who, what, when, where, how and why information to draw the reader in. Keep it short though: that's what the rest of your paragraphs are for (to explain in depth what you covered in the lead)
