* Writing Headlines for the Web * Writing Better Print Headlines (Fall '08) * Understanding & Interpreting Polls

We know you're keeping tabs on the final primary elections in Montana and South Dakota. That's why we want you to help us track down the most engaging headlines from the coverage, as the primary season ends.

 

Engaging headlines ask a question, use clever punctuation, alliteration, a pun, or onomatopoeia, says Poynter's Sara Quinn. And they sometimes speak directly to the reader, using "you" or "we" or "they."

Here are a couple examples:
"Coda for the Clintons" from The Washington Post (uses alliteration)

"Will She Stay or Will She Go?" from Fox News (uses a question)

Here's what you do:
Post a comment to this article with a link to the most interesting, notable or engaging headlines you find. Be sure to include the actual text of how the headline reads at the time you're seeing it (it may change throughout the day) and what about this headline caught your attention.
