What is the difference between news headlines and leads?

The difference lies in the different functions. The title is a summary and the lead is an introduction.

Titles generally include reference titles, main titles and sub-titles; Introduction is the first paragraph or sentence at the beginning of news, which briefly reveals the core content of news.

Headlines are usually summaries of news content; A lead is a summary event or summary center.

Extended data title (title, head), pronounced as biāotí, is a short sentence that expresses articles, works, etc., and is generally divided into general title, subtitle and subtitle. As the saying goes: read the book first, then read the newspaper, and the title can make readers understand the main content and theme of the article.

News lead is the beginning of the news. Write the most important and wonderful facts in the news with extremely concise words, outline the outline of the full text and attract readers.
