Usage notes
The word, which has entered ordinary usage, was originally journalistic jargon. In 1990, the American author and journalist (1929–2009) was still able to say: “You will not find this spelling in dictionaries; it is still an insiders' variant, steadily growing in frequency of use. Will lede break out of its insider status and find its way into general use? To suggest this is becoming standard would be misledeing But it has earned its place as a variant spelling, soon to overtake the original spelling for the beginning of a news article.”
