By the way, if you are reading this, you’re invited in on the joke. This is meant to target those who willing choose not to read beyond the headlines. Thank you for playing along. Your readership is greatly appreciated.

What language is this? Lorem ipsum. It looks like Latin, but it’s not a language at all. It just serves as a placeholder when text isn’t available yet or a squirrelly editor looking to make a point.

This is where an editorial would go. It’s an opinion piece, either of the paper’s as a whole or the editor’s alone. It’s not a news article. There is a difference.

What’s the point?
Most people don’t bother to read anymore. Anyhow, if you’re still reading at this point, I’m going to let you in on another secret. You’re one of the three. Congratulations. You’ve read beyond the headline. And, unfortunately, that’s not too common anymore. According to a study published in the Washington Post back in 2016, 70 percent of Facebook users only read headlines. Then, they proceed to share the article with friends, and perhaps write a comment about it. All without reading the article.
You can see it, too. People pushing off articles they believe share their point of view because the headline says as much. But, they failed to digest the whole story.
The practical purpose of any headline is to grab your attention and persuade you into reading the corresponding article. It doesn’t give you the entire story. It can’t.
For one, there’s the issue of limited real estate. The headline to this editorial is limited by about seven words, and that’s a stretch. It’s because of this, writing headlines is a bit of an art appreciated most by those of us who work in newspapers.
The internet has changed that a little bit by opening the possibilities for 25-word headlines. That’s a lede, for crying out loud. That’s giving up the ghost before the writer has any chance of sharing the details of the story.
We live in a broadband internet world that demands instant results. That convenience also cultivates a cancel-out society where we can cut words and people out from our lives with the click of a button. In a time where social media can bridge people together as groups, individuals have lost the ability to listen. We’re too focused with “look at me” that we don’t take the time to learn about everyone else. The result: there is no compassion or empathy for the person in front of us.
There are people out there who take advantage of the shortsighted. They use the tools of the internet to persuade you into a certain frame of thought. They’re willing to bet you’ll be the one of the majority who fails to read the facts and will feast upon your emotions.
You need to be careful of that. Read more.
