IV. The News Body
The headline and the lead tell you the main ideas of the news story, but they do
so in a very shortened form. They give you enough information, however, to
allow you to make an important decision. They allow you to decide whether you
want to read the story or to skip it and move on to another more interesting
story.
If you decide to continue reading, the body of the story is where you find
detailed information. Basically, the body will give you three kinds of
information: details, comments from people involved in the story, and
background information to help you understand the story more deeply. The
following short story has all of these elements.
