Newspaper headlines do, however, have a language of their own and it is necessary to learn about it if we want to really understand an English language newspaper.
1. The language of newspaper headlines
There are two very clear features to English newspaper headlines.
a. Headlines are almost always in present tense.
Eg:
EU treats lightly on rights issue with China.
or
South Korea replaces envoy for nuclear talks
(IHT. Wednesday, April 16, 2008)
Even future events are described in present tense
Eg:
Nations meet to discuss global warming project
(IHT. Monday, March31, 2008)
b. Headlines generally leave out certain words, especially articles and the verb to be. And is often replaced by a comma.
Eg:
Co-chief demoted at Kia in shakeup
( Co-chief is demoted at Kia in shakeup)
(IHT. Wednesday, April 16, 2008)
Or:
Maldivian team accused
(Maldivian team were accused)
(IHT. Thursday, April 3, 2008)
2. The different types of newspaper headlines
a. Straight headlines
Straight headlines simply tell us the main topic of the story. They are the most common type of the headline and are the easiest to understand.
Eg:
2 young talents give their team a lift in Europe
(IHT. Thursday, April 3, 2008)
Or:
U.S. Muslims turn to teaching children at home
(IHT. Thursday, March 27, 2008)
b. Headlines that ask a question
Most question headlines are not really typical questions at all. They are statement followed by a question mark. Question marks are uses when:
The headline reports a future possibility.
Eg:
Giúp for U.S home owners?
(IHT. Friday, April 4, 2008)
The latest smash hit on TV?
(IHT. Tuesday, April 8, 2008)
There is some doubt about the truth or accuracy of the story.
Eg:
S&M session goes too far?
(IHT. Tuesday, April 8, 2008)
The last great oil frontier?
(IHT. Saturday-Sunday, March 22-23, 2008)
Note that this is one of the few times a newspaper headline may use a tense other than the present.
c. Headlines that contains a quotation
what people say can be as important as what they do, so it is not surprising to find a quote as a headline.
Eg:
Richardson endorses Obama, a “once-in-a-lifetime leader”
(IHT. Saturday-Sunday, March 22-23, 2008)
Mugabe will “fight”- Official says
(IHT. Friday, April 4, 2008)
A quotation is another way a newspaper can begin a story with an unproven statement. And it can be used for more than just candicating a direct quote. They are also used tell us that a word is being used outside its normal meaning.
d. Feature headlines
Not all newspaper stories report major events. Some stories are included because they are highly unusual: others because they are amusing. Headlines for such stories try to be as clever as possible to catch the reader’s interest. It is often necessary to read the story to understand the headline.
Eg:
Al Qaeda’s newest star
(IHT. Saturday-Sunday, April 5-6, 2008)
The story is about Zawahri who is an escape from a U.S military prison and emerges as a possible heir to Bin Laden.
e. Double headlines
Double headlines are two part headlines for the same story. They are often used foe major events.
Eg:
As Uighurs get restive, China takes a tough line
And the other headline of the same story:
Severe punishments are promised in Tibet.
(IHT. Saturday-Sunday, April 5-6, 2008)
