Massive leak of secret files exposes true Afghan war – Nick Davies and David Leigh (The Guardian)
I think this headline is very effective because it is very basic and straight to the point, because the article is of high importance; the headline is suited as it does not need a smart witty comment to make it noticeable and eye catching. Because the article is an important issue in today’s current news, the basics are more informative to the readers. I think this is very effective with its straight to the point attitude as it entices the readers, as it is such a shocking thing to read.
Clegg the executioner – Philip Webster (The Times)
The use of the word ‘executioner’ in the headline indicates someone of great power has ended something major. By using the name of the person involved also catches the attention of the audience, as Nick Clegg is a nationally known figure, the Deputy Prime Minister for the Coalition. This is a good headline, because it shows the power that Nick Clegg has over the desicion of the government policies, even though he is only from a small party.
