Sturgeon Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 13 hours ago, LoooSeR said: As someone who is something resembling a journalist, the reason we use that kind of headline is actually so we don't get sued. We can be 100% confident of something and still be at risk of a lawsuit. This is in part because we're only human, and can be wrong sometimes, and in part because when money's on the line, truth doesn't matter and lawsuits follow. For example, I know for a fact a piece of information that is extremely damaging to SIG. I cannot publish this, because even though I am 100% confident that it is true, TFB would almost certainly get sued. Because $580 million is a lot of money.

Donward Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 As someone who has written headlines for a living and had to do so under the constraints of actually trying to fit them in one column or two columns or three columns depending on the newspaper layout, there is a certain style that you need to use in order to actually make readers notice the story. Then your lede (the first sentence has to grab them) and if you haven't kept their attention by the second paragraph, you have failed as a writer. Also, and I've mentioned this before, for actual newspapers, the people writing the headlines aren't the ones generally writing the stories. They're editors or copy editors/layout design folks. Worse, on websites, the guy writing the headlines is some computer slob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoooSeR Posted August 22, 2017 Report Share Posted August 22, 2017 Recently one man in Surgut stabbed 7 people, injuring them, was stopped by police and a bullet. Apperently ISIS released today a video from this man. Police originally didn't even considered this event as terrorist attack, as in our country usually such attacks involve explosives, suicide bomber or several armed militants shooting at people/attempting to shoot at people.

She left with supplies when she knew the two she was with were going to get caught. She may have gotten lost, but she definitely had stuff with her. Now she's the victim and not the one going to jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why it's taken so long for something like this to happen, but here it is! You've got to make an account to view his page, but I've found a screencap. It's even better that it doesn't look like he was just some low profile guy either on this place. ~2.3k submissions of I guess that comic looking thing and an impressive 17k comments. Not NSFW in case that's a concern Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
