Questions
Which words do most headlines share? Which words does only one outlet use, and what do they stress?
Who reported it first, and how long did the others take? Does “first seen by Huduku” mean they broke the story?
How many different owners carried it? Do any outlets share an owner, or nearly the same words?
Which outlets you know did not carry it? What might explain that?
What is the original source (a judgment, notice, speech or set of figures)? Find it. Does any headline say more than the source does?
If you shared one of these headlines, which would it be, and why?
Trace it to the source?
