: I don't think it's the actual first paragraph. It's the subheading that goes under the large head.

deck
Headlines, Decks, and Bylines
Headlines look good in different fonts, they should be LARGE, attention grabbing, and creative. Headlines should in BOLD and above the entire story (not just one column) or beside it.
***Decks*** are the “sub-headline” in a smaller version of the same font. They should NOT be BOLD, but they may look good italicized.

Headlines present another list of special jargon. In the newsroom, the word “hed” is often used. Then there are subspecies: a deck head (a smaller-type headline below the main hed), a hammerhead (not a shark but one that bites at the reader’s attention with its large size and usually only one dynamic word); a kicker (which appears above the main hed, usually to the left margin; subheads (interspersed in longer strings of type to break up grayness or possibly to designate a listing of specifics or people mentioned).

En realidad muchas veces entre el t�tulo y el copete se usa otra cosa que, en Uruguay, se llama "bajada". Esta noticia tiene adem�s colgado (antes del t�tulo), t�tulo y ah� viene el copete (en este caso no se us� bajada).
Luego viene el texto en s�. Despu�s aparece un subt�tulo y un nuevo copete.
