In my journalism training in college, I was taught that most people don't read a full article in the newspaper, so each article should be frontloaded with all the important information, with details getting less important as the article progresses. This sounds like a recipe for self-fulfilling prophecies. In any case, for those who just want the details, here they are:
Thomas Lynn was born February 12, 2012, at 10:26 p.m. He weighed six pounds, three ounces, and measured twenty inches long. Both mother and baby are fine.
There. Now you know. The rest is just details.
