Posting stories with original headlines

Postby rucker on Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:41 pm

I guess I didn't plan this out very well, the original headlines are often too long :lol:

Go ahead and put something that fits if you want. The idea is for the headline to match the story so people know what it is about. When every story about a shooting in Chicago has the headline "But guns are banned there" it makes things confusing.

So basically, don't worry if it's not the exact headline but at least try to accurately paraphrase it.

Please do these two simple things:

1) The subject of the post should be the state, followed by the original headline.

2) Please include the URL to the original story!

I was a little hurt that you were infringing on my creativity. And lets face it no matter what we do we will still be a little confused.
