Is writing like this. A little girl is killed in a freak hunting accident and the reader isn’t told that until the fourth paragraph. The first three paragraphs are the writer trying to be a novelist. Well, it’s a NEWS story, so put the news first!
UPDATE: Someone emailed to say that the headline tells the reader what happened to the girl. My contention is that the headline writer understood what the news was and went with that. Kudos to him or her. But the headline is supposed to be written based on the lede, not what the copy editor might find somewhere down in the story.
