It's no longer just reporting the headlines of the day, but trying to put the headlines into some context and to add some perspective into what they mean.

If you only have one shot at writing a headline, there's a lot of pressure.

Headlines are so great in a sense that they can take a little bit from an article completely out of context and blow it into something it's not. Some people really only read headlines.

Headline writing is tough because often times you are given a predetermined number of spaces and words depending on the layout and the type of the story.

These days, headlines are trying to get you to click.

We sort of read two or three big newspapers but we don't get the flavor of the local events, the local news as much.

Writing headlines is a specialty - there are outstanding writers who will tell you they couldn't write a headline to save their lives.

Headlines, in a way, are what mislead you because bad news is a headline, and gradual improvement is not.

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

Headline writing is an art form.
