Create some Newspaper Headlines

One of the principles of newspaper headlines, is emotional attraction. Think of the principles or concepts behind newspaper headlines, state them if you wish, then list four or five newspaper headlines of your ownWhy?It's fun. And you will be practising your thinking. Concise headlines sell newspapers!Here's some of mine:"Seven kittens rescued from well""Man on fire jumps into lake""Teacher expelled for being angry with child's questions""Hawaii declares unilateral independence from United…See More

ABOUT EDWARD

Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world, in the field of creative and conceptual thinking.
Edward is noted by Forbes to be one of the top 20 business thinkers in the world today, and one of 200 people who have contributed most in the world to date.
Dr. de Bono believes in the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He has written 86 books with translations into over 40, languages and has been invited to lecture in over 50 countries.
He is the originator of lateral thinking, which treats creativity as the behaviour of information in a self-organising information system - such as the neural networks in the brain. From such a consideration arise the deliberate and formal tools of lateral thinking, parallel thinking etc.
