40 Of The Worst Newspaper Headlines To Make

You Facepalm At The Stupidity
Jonas Grinevičius and Ilona Baliūnaitė
There is hardly anything better than waking up at the crack of dawn and making some English breakfast:
scrambled eggs, bacon, fried tomatoes and mushrooms, a bit of toast with marmalade, and a large mug
of Earl Grey tea. And what better way to enjoy this feast than by eating it whilst you read the morning
newspapers?
Unfortunately, some newspaper headlines can make us do a spit-take and drench the entire page in
delicious tea (splash of milk, no sugar). You know the type of headlines that I mean: unintentionally
amusing, very silly, and quite obvious how stupid they are if the overworked editors would look at them
with a pair of fresh eyes.
Our team at Bored Panda has run, own, and swum all over the planet looking for hilarious and idiotic
newspaper articles, all for your amusement. So put your reading glasses on, scroll down, and upvote the
headlines you enjoyed. We’d love to hear about any peculiar and giggle-worthy headlines that you’ve
come across; even better if you’ve come up with them yourselves!

I adore newspapers, just like I love books, writing things in notebooks, watering my cus tree, and
sketching on real paper. They’re real things that don’t disappear once the power goes out, the internet
goes down, or the moment a zombie outbreak starts (Max Brooks’ ‘The Zombie Survival Guide’ will be
worth its weight in gold then and I keep it by my bed at all times). However, times are changing. More
and more news and entertainment can be found in the digital world. Which means that the print media
industry is slowly declining.

For example, in 2018, weekday print newspaper circulation in the United States decreased by 12
percent, while Sunday circulation fell by 13 percent, according to the Pew Research Center.
What this means is that on Sundays, when most Americans have more free time, they’d rather do
something else than buy a newspaper; like browse the internet.

And the situation is only getting worse for newspaper journalists and other staff members. Based on
the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Occupational Employment Statistics, in 2018, 37,900 people worked in
the newspaper industry as reporters, editors, photographers, lm or video editors. That is 14 percent
fewer employees than in 2015, and a whopping 47 percent less than in 2004.
Do you think that newspapers have a future, dear Readers? Would you like to see a Bored Panda
