ANALYSING HEADLINES
In this post I am going to analyse how the way we write a headline can totally change the way we see the rest of the news. The headlines are:
As we can see, in the first headline we can see the word "shame" something that may be that calls the reader to enter the article as it is a "news bombshell" since it is an event that has caused a great stir, and because of the word, it incites the reader to visit the web page. We may come to think that it is an article that seeks to collaborate in the media hype because of the way the headline is expressed. In addition, by using the expression at the beginning, it may be that some of the readers who share the tennis player's thoughts may feel offended and therefore stop buying or reading the newspaper.
Secondly, we find a much more formal headline, in which they report the situation but respecting something very important, which is not to show certain types of words that could make many of the readers feel insulted if they share the ideas of the professional tennis player. I think this headline is much more appropriate as it merely reports the situation without contributing to the media hype.
In my opinion, it would be much more pleasant for me to read the second headline than the first one, as I think it is a much more formal headline if I just want to be informed about the situation. If I wanted to find out about the commotion and contribute to it as much as I would with friends or on social media, I would read the first headline as it is much more inviting for the reader to go in and read it.
