So i have to do this newspaper article about the lamb to the slaughter..
What would be a creative headline..
this is the situation i am doing it on.. The seemingly unsolved murder of Patrick Maloney is reported .
It's much too long for a newspaper headline.
Also -- isn't a crime solved or not solved? How could it be "seemingly unsolved?"
I think its not solved. I just typed up what it was on the paper. Also how should I make my headline then..?
Patrick Maloney Murdered
That's the way I was taught to write headlines back in the Dark Ages.
This site has a little different advice.
