Lede
The introduction to a news article is called the 'lede' and is usually in the first paragraph as in an essay. The 'lede' is a deliberate misspelling of 'lead' to prevent confusion in the days when printing was done with lead type.

standfirst/subhead
I don't think it's the lead (I trained as a journalist, and I've never seen it spelt lede). Lara's definition from Larousse says: "Texte bref qui introduit un article de journal, de revue. (Placé immédiatement sous le titre, il coiffe l'article. On écrit aussi chapô.)"
Wikipedia says:
"In journalism, the lead paragraph should not be confused with the standfirst (UK), rider, kicker or subhead (US). These terms refer to an introductory or summary line or brief paragraph, located immediately above or below the headline, and typographically distinct from the body of the article."
