The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

MODERATORS
This article is fascinating in its choice of headlines. It briefly mentions the headline quote, and then goes on to primarily talk about the number of journalists who were killed last year. It was just an article about a conference the pope spoke at, but i really thought it'd be about something else before i read it. Successful clickbait, i guess???
This is pretty off topic, but in traditional newspaperology headlines the story writers have no say in the headline. Headline writing is a separate discipline with specialized headline writers, because you have to carefully count the character sizes to fit the headline into the space.
This traditional art changed on its head when headlines online were no longer constrained by the page layout.
Of course, but it's entirely unrelated to the body of the article.
