Writers and reporters are used to working with limits such as low word counts, confidentiality issues, and deadlines. It’s less about following the rules exactly and more about finding creative ways to work with them. You might come across a fascinating story, but you’ve got to find a way to say more by saying less — and fast. Part of that is finding a really good deadline, and by “good,” we don’t necessarily mean correct or clever. Interesting will do the trick.
Below you’ll find 30 stories with interesting headlines. We’re not sure how credible these stories are — we were too busy laughing to find out —but they sure got our attention!
