His name is Steven Udotong.
Imagine taking courses to write effective headlines and then see people who don’t know shit trying to be snarky online.
Guys. For the billionth time. Headlines need to give as much relevant details as possible while still being short enough to be read at a glance or almost, and get people to read the rest. Unless the article is about someone well-known enough that we can safely assume the reader will recognize them, first names do not go in headlines.
It is not about refusing to write the names of minorities in headlines. It is literally the first thing you’re taught when it comes to writing them.
On the other hand, just look how much funnier headlines could be if we adopted this policy
Seriously, do people think the headline is literally all that exists? There’s a whole article underneath it, you know!
This is all very good and funny/informative, but I got all worked up for a moment thinking that someone had invented practical nuclear fusion.
Sadly it turns out he has not invented it, he’s only pledged to invent it.
