I would probably focus on the lede instead of the nut graf. At least the first paragraph that answers who, what, how, where, why is of importance. Getting into the nut graf might be somewhat complex in some articles, as with many (I'm currently looking at a Forbes article) the nut graf is bullet-point summarized after the lede.
Or maybe either one will do. Although I'd believe that contributors will probably post the lede over the nut graf of an article due to ease or confusion.
