CRHW prepared by
HEADLINE SCHEDULE
CRHW prepared by
HEADLINE SCHEDULE
A second principle of balance and
proportion: shorter heds have more lines,
longer heds fewer lines. Huge headlines on
small stories and small headlines on big
stories confuse both the eye and the brain.
CRHW prepared by
HEADLINE ORDER
• a three-number sequence that tells you how many
columns your headline should cover, what point size it
should be, and how many lines it should fill.
• For example, a 6-42-1 is a comfortable banner head that stretches
across the page: six columns’ wide, 42-point type, one line.
Headline writers love them because they are wide-open spaces
with no breaks between lines to complicate matters.
• A 1-24-3, on the other hand, may be frustrating because it provides
such a narrow space; it asks you to write a one-column head in 24-
point type over three lines.
• always given in the same sequence: width in columns,
type size in points, number of lines.
• may also specify a particular font (if the publication uses
more than one font for heads) and other variations such as
bold or italic type.
