The author of our text argues that, The most important words a journalist writes are headlines. Reflect: Take a<br />
look at the following headlines and consider why each is ineffective as written. What might be a more effective version of<br />
each headline? ? Explosion-fire damages tire company and injures owner ? FBI probes attorney?s death<br />
by hanging in Midville jail ? Custody war looms over kidnap victim ? Earlier deadlines and new<br />
nightmares for some taxpayers ? Two children caught in house fire die from smoke Write: Write a 250-<br />
to 300-word response that explains the importance of a well-written headline. Explain your view giving examples from<br />
revised versions of the above headlines and from a recent news article you located from the Associated Press. In your<br />
initial post, you must include at least one in-text citation from the reading material and an additional in-text citation from a<br />
scholarly source that you locate. At the end of your post, include your name and a full reference for all sources cited in<br />
the body of your post. All citaitons and references must adhere to APA style guidelines as outlined in the Ashford Writing<br />
Center. Check it! Your assignment must be submitted through Grammarly and Turn it in prior to submission.<br />
Respond to Peers: After you have written your initial post, read the posts of your peers and respond to at least two<br />
others about what makes a well-written headline. Your responses should address them by name, be between 100 and<br />
150 words in length, and you must include your name at the end of each response. Carefully review the<br />
