Summary lead is a type of lead (the opening paragraph of a news story) that provides a concise summary of the most important information in the story. It typically answers the who, what, when, where, why, and how questions in a single paragraph.
Example:
* Summary lead: A fire broke out at the local library on Tuesday evening, causing extensive damage to the building and forcing the evacuation of all patrons and staff.
