Glad you liked the headline on the Niagara Gazette, but alas we cannot claim it to be our original work. It was used on the cover of one of the New York City tabloids and I’m sure that’s where we got it from. We used to have great headline writers in the Gannett days, but now because of time restraints we have to just funnel onto the page what the reporters give us and only rewrite it if it’s really, really bad.

Best hed I’ve seen is from the Boston Herald: “Hooker, Lying, and Sinker.” Ouch!

I have to add ours (Syracuse) to that line-up. I think we gave our readers every angle and did via a clean, bold, well-designed A-1. We looked forward, we provided the seedy details, we recapped Spitzers’ career and provided tons of information online.
