"In a Flash, Ring Slips Away; Search for Diamond Sends Crews Into Muck", is a good example of a feature story. This news as stated in the chapter is certainly "less than earth shattering." This story is a birhgt because during many of the parts I found myself laughing. I liked the sentence in the article that said "When a woman loses her engagement ring in such a freakish fashion, society goes into crisis mode." Obviously it is not a "real" crisis in the terms of news, but for a woman it sure is one. I believe that this article is a narrative lede because it included dialogue and quotes to set up what happened.
Summary ledes, unlike newsstory ledes, do not try to include the 5 W's and an H, but insetad focus on giving a quick preview of what is coming. Instead of including a lot of information into a lede, the writers tries to "hook" the reader into continuing on with the rest of bthe story.
