Video: What the pope taught me about writing ledes

, , ,

The first Bleacher Report Blog video features a dramatic reenactment of an important moment from my high school days.

It’s not what you think. That didn’t happen till I was in my 30s.

Bleacher Report Business Development Manager Lauren Fraser plays the part of my friend Stacey, who one day in 1981 inadvertently helped teach me something important about writing a good lede.

    One small step for the B/R Blog. One giant leap for King’s appearance at the next TED conference! (Great stuff, can’t wait for the next one…)
