    More to share that speaks volumes about this crew: They did it on spring break. Five students working across four states, some with baffled families looking on, calling sources relentlessly, knocking on doors in Norman and always communicating with one another.

    Hahahaha. The marketing team had ONLY ONE job! You should also think about: Longhorn football, because you’re worth it... or, Longhorn Football, A Diamond is forever. Oooh! Longhorn Football, Can You Hear Me Now?

    Great Education ✔️ Great Football ✔️ Great place to live ✔️ You don't have to choose one or the other .... THE University of Texas 🤘🏼

    Q4: Seems like a good time to pitch our Winning Headlines booklets. They’re $10 apiece, showing all the headlines that are winners in our actual headline contest the past two years.

    Q3: Many editors think they aren’t good at writing headlines. Or they find it very difficult. But it is difficult. And it’s important. And that means it’s a thing that makes you valuable as an editor. This comes naturally to few people. It can be practiced and learned.

    Q3: Remember that headlines are read **instantly**. Readers aren’t going to study headlines. If it isn’t immediately understandable, it is no good.

    Tone is also important here. A light story should have a fun headline. A serious story needs a headline that plays it straight. Many editors have fun when they shouldn’t, and vice versa.

    Replying to @dailysuitcase @copyeditors
    I agree. A headline should never promise something that the story or post can't deliver.

    Ever wonder why the federal government spends so much on those 65 and over but won’t tackle paid leave, the cost of college, and childcare? See below for the answer.

    Young people (18-31) have the smallest amount of registered voters. This is important. This is why we feel like policies and politicians are outdated. They’re being voted in by older people & not us. If you want to make a difference, vote.
