Questioning Headlines

A concern has been expressed by Thomas Roessler regarding the headlines of opinion pieces that are presented on CircleID. (Thanks Thomas, this is indeed a valid point that deserves attention and a careful consideration.) In addition to the meaning and reflection that a headline can portray on the related article or opinion piece, headlines also play a very important role in the world of "online" publishing. So I'll start by explaining why we have developed the "bad habit" of sometimes changing headlines of opinion pieces from their original format before having them published. ›››
