Week 11

3-year-old boy dies after eating grilled cheese
This article caught my eye because a child died and it was from a food item we all have eaten. I thought it was written in a way that makes you want to know what happened. It went on to state the child had a dairy allergy. The school was aware of this but failed to comply with the child’s needs. The article wants to draw you in to read further. With the headline, it did just that.

Aly Raisman: I was sexually abused by team doctor
The article explains point blank what it is about. I think it is good because people are coming forward on allegations of sexual assault. People want to be informed as to what is happening. Who did it and to who. This headline is blunt to say the least. It wants to attract an audience that is concerned with what happened. Aly Raisman is a three- time gold medal gymnast. People know who she is.

Truck's engine failed when firefighters were en rout to blaze that killed former Utah mayor, ex-chief says
I was not a fan of this headline. I thought it had too much information. Maybe I am wrong but felt that it could have been shorter with just enough information to still entice the reader.

An error I found was on a slide presentation from a teacher. It said… “and the ccost $40.00 to prepare, send and receive an order.” The teacher put two c’s instead of one.



Both the articles below are true in the information they are saying. However, the last names of the people does not sound appropriate for a headline.

  1. I liked your examples of good headlines. I agree with you that the third example is a bad headline. I think it is ok to have names in headlines IF the person is well-known. Anthony Weiner's case and face are both well-known.

  2. I really liked your examples. I agree with your statement about using last names in headlines. Those are pretty good examples on how not to use a name in a headline.
