What is a Headline?
 HEADLINE is the title of a newspaper story.
 It serves as a quick source of information.
 It is written to tell the story what is it all about, to attract readers, and to
grade the news on its importance. It is always short and simple.
 Headline writing requires skill and concentration.
 It must give the essence of the story. While explaining the story
accurately, your headline also must fit into a limited space.

Ano ang ulo ng balita?
 Ulo ng balita ang tawag sa pamagat ng balita.
 Ito ay nakalimbag sa mas malalaking tipo ng titik kaysa sa teksto nito.
 Mga Gamit ng Ulo ng Balita:
 Buurin ang Balita
 Tumutulong sa pagpapaganda ng pahina
 Bigyan-diin ang kahalagahan ng balita
 Tagapag-anunsyo ng nilalaman ng balita

How do we write headline?
Step 1- Read the article, especially the lead (first) paragraph.
The headline must convey a brief synopsis of the article and must be
accurate, so knowledge of the information in the article is imperative.
THE Philippines has taken a new tack in addressing the aggressive
actions of China in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) — intensifying maritime
patrols and making public acts of harassment and bullying.

STEPS IN WRITING HEADLINE
Step 2- Decide on the most important information to be conveyed
in the headline: what will grab the attention of the most
readers?
THE Philippines has taken a new tack in addressing the
aggressive actions of China in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) —
intensifying maritime patrols and making public acts of harassment and
bullying.

STEPS IN WRITING HEADLINE:
Step 3- Using the key words from the lead, write a short
telegraphic sentence summary of the news.
The Philippines has taken a tack of intensifying
maritime patrols in the West Philippine Sea.

Step 4- Use the shortest word possible. Substitute simple
effective synonyms to fit the headline within the allotted space.
• The Philippines has taken a tack of intensifying maritime
patrols in the West Philippine Sea.

Step 5- Write the headline. There are several things to consider
while writing the headline.
• PCG intensifies maritime patrols
Step 6- Confirm that there are no more errors in form and in
content.

Step 7- Consider the appearance of the headline. The font size of
the letters used often convey to the reader the article's
importance. Major world events are typically one or two words in
very large font size across the entire top of the newspaper, while
smaller local stories or news that isn't that unusual are printed in a
smaller font size that only takes up a column or two in the paper.

Let’s Try this:
THE Philippines has taken a new tack in addressing the aggressive
actions of China in the West Philippine Sea (WPS) — intensifying maritime
patrols and making public acts of harassment and bullying.
_____________________________________
PCG intensifies maritime patrols

Technical instruction for a headline
An example of a technical instruction for a headline is the following.
3 – 20 BB w/ KICKER
The first number (3) means that the head will run across three columns of the page.
The second number (20) stands for the type size to be used. BB refers to Bodoni Bold, a
type family with the corresponding weight (how thick and black the letters will appear on the
page). Kicker refers to the preliminary head. The line below refers to the number of lines or
decks your headline will have.

Guidelines in Writing Headline
1. Use specific words. Make the information as exact as you
can in the limited space of the headline
Wrong: Philippines intensifies maritime patrols
Correct: PCG intensifies maritime patrols
Wrong: Politician wins election.
Correct: PBBM wins presidential post.

2. State facts, avoid opinion.
Fact: The Core first in press tilts
With opinion: The Core luckily tops prestigious press tilts

3. Use Active voice. The doer of the action must be in the
subject position. However, use the passive voice when the
action is more significant than the doer.
Example: SC postpones general meeting
(Passive: Burglar who murdered former navy officer jailed for 27
years)

4. Use the historical present (the present form of the verb for
the past events, and the infinitive form for the future events).
Wrong: The Core copped 5 trophies at NSSPC
Correct: The Core cops 5 trophies at NSSPC
Wrong: Mayor will open Shopping Mall
Correct: Mayor to open Shopping Mall

5. Omit all articles a, an, the and other unnecessary words.
Wrong: The 7 cops hurt in ambush
Correct: 7 cops hurt in ambush
6. Avoid label head
Wrong: Auctioned
Correct: Imelda jewelry auctioned

7. Do not editorialize your headline.
Wrong: Ang Alab shows great performance in DSSPC.
Correct: Ang Alab wins 6 out of 7 in DSSPC writing contests
8. Do not use the same word twice in the headline or kicker
Gun haul
Manila cops seize 25 guns
from suspected bandits

9. Never use the word “may”. It denotes the uncertain element
of the story.
Wrong: Sayyaf may demand P1M for release of 3 captives
Correct: Sayyaf demands P1M for release of 3 captives.

10. Write numbers in figures or spell them out depending upon the allotted
space for headlines. Generally use numerals, although numbers through
nine may be spelled out
Example:
Tennis team dominates: Eight head to leagues after an almost
flawless season
Senior class collects 123 pints in blood drive

11. Do not be in the negative.
Poor: Summer Training in Journalism won’t be held
Better: Summer Training in Journalism cancelled

12. Avoid wooden heads or headlines without a verb.
Wrong: Ten student delegates at UN
Correct: Ten student delegates visit UN

13. Avoid splitting words that naturally go together
Wrong: SJNHSians celebrate Buwan
ng Wika with beauty tilt
Right: Garcians hold Buwan ng Wika with beauty
contest

14. Punctuate headlines correctly: omit periods
15. Use the comma (,), the punctuation mark, instead of the
conjunction and in headlines. Commas are often used to replace
and. In all other cases, Standard English usage rules that apply
for commas apply in headlines.
Yellow Ribbon Week reminds friends, family to listen

16. Use the semicolon to attach two related thoughts,
Floods destroy field house; cleanup to take three weeks
17. Use single quotation marks rather than double.
Putting ‘the boot’ down
18. Do not use obscure or unnecessary abbreviations.
Wrong: New FHS principal changes discipline
Right: New principal changes discipline

19. Never abbreviate a day of the week.
20. Never use a day of the week and the date together
21. Do not abbreviate months except when a numeral
follows (Jan. 27)

Mga Dapat Tandaan sa Pag-uulo ng Balita

13. Kung gagamit ng tahasang sabi bilang ulo, lagyan ng isang panipi lamang.
Ngunit kung ang pinagkunan nito ay ibinigay, huwag ng lagyan ng panipi.
Lagyan na lamang ng gatling ang huling titik ng ulo at ibigay ang apelyido o

Pilipinas, BBM para sa Bongbong Marcos at iba pa.
