Headlines

Headlines. They are one of the most important part of the articles right? That's at Leary my opinion. They are what draw the reader's attention to read the article in the first place. I figured, because of that logic, that the headlines would make sense. No, not at least in the Career Journal. The headlines for most articles aren't formally written, with weird and awkward grammar. I am really shocked by this discovery, here's why.

When I think of a headline I think of something that looks like this. “Teenager at DuPont Manual High School Speaks Out Against Homework.” The headlines for the main story for the Career are awkwardly worded. For example, “More Fake AP Test on JCPS” I just don't understand why they do this. It's not particularly difficult to word a headline right, so I know it's probably not skill holding them back from a better and more formal choice of wording. I guess it could be a stylistic choice, but why? I'm just so curious on why they word headlines like this.

Even though I don't have my answer, I think that the reason has to be stylistic, but I may never know.
