Read this article and visit some of the sites:
http://www.poynter.org/column.asp?id=47&aid=14231
Today is a work day on your newspaper. I will work individually with anyone who needs help.
How to create headlines for your articles:
1. Reread your article; identify the underlying theme.
2. Express the theme in an active voice using as few words as possible. Active verbs lend immediacy to a story. If a reader sees a headline written in a passive voice, he or she might glance right over it.
3. Keep your headline in present tense.
4. Keep it simple. A headline is a short, direct sentence without extra adjectives or adverbs.
5. Provide enough information in the headline to give the casual reader an impression of the entire story.
