The Washington Post- news alerts

Published by under Uncategorized

Below is a sample of The Washington Post news alerts that I receive via e-mail.  The news alerts give short headlines to tell the main points and give links to related stories of interest. I enjoy the format of these alerts and think they give good information on breaking news stories. If anyone is having a hard time with figuring out how to write a good lead, I would suggest taking a look at the news alerts.
