I wrote a blog post about this once. I go with "lede" for this reason: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_style#Lead_or_intro
But in truth - that reason doesn't really matter anymore - so I think both are acceptable.
Perhaps you've heard of social news sites before. Digg, Propeller, StumbleUpon and Reddit let readers decide what the most important news story of the day is. But journalists can use these as tools to stay informed and spread their work around.

@Saleem - it is good to see you again (digitally).
I'm going to second Chris. The Sunlight Foundation does great stuff.
I'd put them in the category of interactive info-graphics (although that is not really what they do).
But there is a whole w...

How Can Journalists Use Ning???
Ning is a way to build communities right out of the box.
Next time there is an emergency in your area - if your website is too slow to update all the information from citizens - why not build a Ning site?
Or: Why not build a ning site for your beat? That's what some of the beat bloggers are doing - and I thought I'd ask this big group for any advice on how a Ning site should be structured, managed and how to spread the… Continue

I started the group: Social bookmarking for journalists quietly (inviting some friends) and now I want to open up the conversation to the larger WiredJournalist community.
If you aren't sure what I mean by social bookmarking or social news sites. First visit the wikipedia explanation.
Now the real question is: How can journalists use social bookmarking to the… Continue

You Suck at Photoshop
Now this is how I learn!

Seriously. If you ever wanted to know more about photoshop - this is a good series. Plus, actually very entertaining.
If you like the first episode try the second: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXeZ0s8DXZ0&feature=related

Mary Louise Schumacher said… - Hey Dave, I was at the conference at Georgia Tech and heard you talk a bit about the "beat blogging" concept. I'm very intrigued and would love to hear more. I'm the art and architecture critic at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and have slowly built a newsletter audience to about 2,000 now.
I've got to spend some time reading your posts about beat blogging, but when I have, I'd love to talk/message/be in touch about the idea.
Hope you are well.

How were the afternoon sessions you attended? I had to spent the rest of the day (and still am) in the office for deadline.

Brian Newsome said… - I just posted a discussion under blogging about beat blogging. I've volunteered to take on a beat blogging experiment here, covering health. Thing is, I'm pretty new to the whole blogging, social networking thing. Could you help me understand the difference in beat blogging and just doing a blog off your beat? You could send me a comment or just go to the discussion. I'm not an early adopter, but I'm not a technophobe either. I guess you could say I'm a reporter who sees where things are going and doesn't want to be left behind.

Paul Conley said… - Hi David,
It's good to see you here too.
You know I don't think we're teaching culture here. But I do think we're "spreading" the culture. And I'm just thrilled with the process. More than 700 members as of tonight! It's amazing.

If you have time check out my response to "Using Twitter for journalism" in the social networking group here. I blogged a fuller rendition at PJNet.org yesterday. Your thoughts? Can it help BeatBlogger?

I'm sure I'll be in touch. I slowly working my way through Howard Owens' suggestions for things the non-wired should try to do. I've a ways to go, but I've started.

I'm not shy, I'll admit I'm new to this whole thing. I figure I'd just hang around and try to find someone who could lead.
