1. The Headline News

A Headlines News is a concise and attention-grabbing summary of the main point or
topic of a news article or story. It is typically displayed prominently at the top of the
article, often in larger font or boldface, to capture the reader's attention and convey
the essence of the story quickly.
According to David Crystal (1987, p. 388), “The Headlines News is a unique piece
of writing specifically for written media. Undoubtedly, this is the most creative field
of journalistic writing.
“In some ways, the Headlines News can be equated with poetry, because there are
several parts that are linguistically related to poetry.” (Sheda Isani, Of headlines &
headlinese 2011).
“Headlines News are almost always the first thing that catches a reader’s eye. They
are the hook, the reason a reader chooses to dive into a story rather than keep
scrolling.” (Alexandra Sharp, What is Headlines 2020).

Nordquist say...“‘HEADLINESE combinations are not in themselves sentences,' said
linguist Otto Jespersen, 'and often cannot be directly supplemented so as to form

Modern English Grammar, vol. 7, 1949. (Nordquist, 2021)
