Poor Title, Decent Article
Posted by drpezz on September 27, 2011
A recent article in The Seattle Times is entitled “What’s the Matter With Teachers Today?”
The title is an obvious ploy to gain readership and increase online comments; however, it’s not an accurate title at all. The article itself contains a brief history of teaching and mentions a few issues teachers must face, and the conclusion is surprisingly teacher-friendly for a Seattle Times article; however, it would be nice to see a positive education headline instead of the typical claptrap that dominates today’s papers.
Why not title the article more accurately? Is positivity failing to sell papers?
