Headlines

Some good headlines I found this week:

PARIS ATTACK WAS WORK OF 3 TEAMS, AN ‘ACT OF WAR’ BY ISIS, FRANCE SAYS

This lead works because it gives information on the nature of the attack as well as a conclusion by the French government. It conveys how they feel about the attack. The French are certain who is to blame, and this headline gives you that information.

Update: 120-plus dead in Paris terror attacks, worst since WWII

This headline is worded appropriately in that it serves to put the terrorist attack in perspective, comparing it to acts of violence in WWII in terms of how severe it was.

Meet the Instamom, a Stage Mother for Social Media

I like this headline because it uses a playful term based on “Instagram.” The story is about a mom that takes photos of his son wearing clothes from specific online shops, and then posts those photos to his Instagram account. She is paid for each post.

The Microcomplaint: Nothing Too Small to Whine About

This is an article that discusses how in the age of social media, we complain about every single thing that happens to us. I thought it was smart and to the point.

This week's editing mistake comes courtesy of Occupy Democrats on Facebook. They misspelled George Takei's name in this graphic.
