What are headlines?

Headlines are short and concise sentences or paragraphs, usually placed at the top of an article or news page, to draw the reader's attention to the content and provide a quick overview of the main points of the article or story.
Headlines should encourage the reader to read the article or story by giving them a taste of what it's about and what information they can expect. A good headline, therefore, should be informative, engaging and concise, and make readers curious.
In today's fast-paced media landscape, headlines are an important part of journalism and advertising. They are used to attract readers' attention, to generate traffic to a website, to sell a product or service, and to inform and entertain readers.
