"Love to hear the robin goin' tweet tweet tweet"

Mike McGregor, Jennie Byrne, and Brittany Santarpio each had exemplary leads and short reports on twitter. The format that these tweets were posted in is a bulletin, fitting in the characteristic guidelines of a short report. Reviewing each, the first aspect of a lead that I checked for is that it was in active voice. Each lead had a subject, a verb, and then the object, which is proper format for a lead. For the short reports I checked the tense first. I was aware that short reports are meant to be written in either present tense or past perfect tense. Each lead and short report was as specific as they were able to be with the character count. Each lead was kept under 50 characters long and each short report remained under 130. Since the leads are so short, I decided to look in the short reports for the 5 W’s and an H and most were covered in the short reports.Since the characteristics that define leads and short reports were all covered by these tweets I believe that they are all very nice examples.
