This is a simple checklist used in #journalism, and refers to six questions every #news article should answer, and the first 5 should be answered in the lede:

  • What?
  • Where?
  • When?
  • Why?
  • How?

These questions help identify key details regarding an event, and #reporting about it.

And I'm a former news producer who had to write show-opening "headlines," so I get the concept. But I always thought it was majorly overboard to have two minutes of headlines before getting to the top story.
