PSA: journalists aren’t supposed to put names in the headlines if the person isn’t a public figure. It’s not a matter of maliciously not giving credit

[orson-bigdaddy-krennic]

^^^as a journalist, this is something that bothers me ALL THE TIME

[thalassarche]

A friend of mine on Twitter explained this the other day, so to elaborate based on what she said: If the name is not instantly recognizable the way a public figure is, then putting the name in the headline isn’t going to bring about any sort of recognition or connection in the reader, and doesn’t do much to draw the reader into the story. But something like “local teen” does create a connection by tying the person into the community, and encourages the reader to learn more about what this local teen has done. The name will be in the article itself, after the headline has done its job at getting the reader to look into it.

[captainsnoop-deactivated2020041]

It’s worth noting too that usually, according to the Inverted Pyramid writing style used for journalism where the most important information is shared first, the person’s name is usually in the first sentence of the first paragraph.

Whenever I see someone get up at arms over a headline that says “Local Teen” and the first comment is “SAY THEIR NAME” I’m always like “hey, thanks for telling every journalist present that you don’t read articles and just skim headlines.” Really makes us feel appreciated.

[zandorv]

I think this Onion headline illustrates the point pretty well

Terf: Aphrodite says terf right and fuck trans people :)

Aphrodite, trans: ..

[short-terf-dyke]

I read this "TERF Aphrodite says TERF rights" and honestly? That sounds awesome, let's all pretend that's what it says.

[rootssam]

Aphrodite pushed like 20 children out of her divine female vagina don't do her like that

[violent-dharma-deactivated20210]

Interesting how most people turn to things like Hellenic Paganism as apostates from what one might presume to be Christianity.

All those things about Christianity that repelled them like the dogmatic views on morality, orienting the faith to justify one's personal ethics, etc etc.

Yet they find themselves guilty of exactly the same. Most interestingly, appropriating a Bronze Age goddess of female sexuality from one of the more chauvinistic ancient cultures to become a mouthpiece of 21st century views.

I'm interested to see whether or not there are any Greek writings on trans people, or even remotely a concept of it, let alone being something so important to Greek society for a highly revered Goddess to comment on it from Mount Olympus.

Yet, somehow, the modern magically sterile internet trans witches and trans oracles have somehow formed a more intimate bond with the goddess than the ancient Greeks ever did to hear her commentary on trans people.

[zahnegott-lives]

Aphrodite does not love hellenic witches, actually theres a good chance she does not love you regardless of who you are

[whitepeopletwitter]

[friendly-neighborhood-patriarch]

the implication is that places like the US can go “poof” and “make the bad thing go away”. 

It’s not that simple.

[mornington-the-crescent]

Yes, I’m sure that a solution that works in a country that’s almost entirely ethnically and culturally homogeneous with 3% the size and with 1.5% of the population of the United States will work here.

Demographics are a thing, people.

[vulpes-teutonicus-deactivated20]

Balkanize and resegregate the United States.

The video starts in the middle of the conversation, so you don’t get to hear what the teacher was saying prior, but the overhead projection shows her woke af answer was necessary.

[big-blueboy-scout]

Do you think it hurts? Being that fucking stupid?

[ilikechildren--fried-deactivate]

Unfortunately the human brain can’t process the concept of pain at that level

[imminent-death-syndrome-deactiv]

“the overhead projection shows her woke af answer was necessary”

She was arguing against the literal definition of racism taken directly from the dictionary. I feel so bad for teachers that have to deal with this shit.

[shin-hero-buster]

Shit like this just makes me so angry.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

Are we still pretending like @micdotcom is news? Are we still pretending like micdotcom is factual? Are we still pretending like micdotcom isnt incredibly biased in their “news”.

[cheshireinthemiddle]

These are the same people who will see somone being tortured for being white or see children killed by the hundreds for being white and immediately defend it as not racist.
