better The job of a headline is to emphasize the important points of the news Present tense is usually used to describe past events in headlines because it’s the tense of immediacy It’s more vivid

https://www.clearvoice.com/blog/the-dos-donts-of-writing-agood-lead-according-to-dear-megan/ clear information about the story The body contains several short paragraphs Use the inverted pyramid technique structure, where all the good stuff at the top, the heart of the news is on the first few paragraphs Less important details are introduced as the story continues Articles on AP also follow

not to read the rest of your article Comments: AP style is simply a standardized way of writing everything from dates to street addresses to job titles AP style was developed and is maintained by The Associated Press, the world’s oldest news service To express opinion, use one or more quotes of qualified sources – always get the quoted person’s permission to include the quote, unless it is a matter of record (printed article or recorded audio-visual) Never self-quote Express no personal opinion When a young person is a CAP cadet, never use “boy,” “girl” or “child” but identify each one by grade, full name (or last name only – never first name only), and unit of assignment Never use “their” for the possessive of a singular subject, such as, “the cadet took their meal.” Never refer to a young person as “kid.” Percentages are always expressed as numerals, followed by the word “percent.” Write the article in the third person singular Identify all persons by grade or title, name, job title if material, and organization Dollar amounts are always expressed as numerals, and the “$” sign is used E.g: FIFA said that a review of its club, youth and women’s competitions would report to
