Headline Ideas

Ideas for Headlines: 

  • "Facebook Friends? Facebook Foes for One Local Girl"
    Good use of alliteration in this particular headline, and use of rhetorical question which is common in newspaper headlines! As it's a local newspaper, featuring the word "local" is useful because it allows people to know that the article will be featuring people from their area.
  • "Turnaround Triumph! Local Hockey Team Goes For Gold"

    Again, good use of alliteration for the first two words in this headline. Again, as it's a local newspaper, featuring the word "local" is useful because it allows people to know that the article will be featuring people from their area. As the Olympics have been so recent, having a headline/article talking about "going for gold" is useful because people have sport already on their minds.
  • "Fury at Local Burglary"

    Slight rhyme in this headline! Between 'fury' and 'burglary'. Helps this headline to roll of the tongue and allows readers to immediately understand the nature of the article as key words have been used to suggest theft.
  • "See No Evil, See Stunning Art!"

    A play on words including the name of the Bristol Art Exhibition of graffiti "See No Evil". The word 'stunning' encourages people to go see the work as it makes them curious to witness the greatness for themselves. The exclamation mark also suggests excitement to not only purchase the newspaper to find out more, but to also see it in person.
  • "Olympic Pride Spreads Through The Nation"

    The Olympics have been a very popular topic over the last few months and so having headlines about this is very effective as people always want to read more about it following all the events and previous media coverage it has received. The word 'pride' gives a warm, glowing feeling to the article and local people will want to read about a story that refers to them; 'The Nation'.
