"12 links on how to write killer headlines"?

I love the slideshow. I think the two big keys for journalists to understand are: (1) The internet separated headlines from stories and (2) On the web, we know which headlines work.

I get a lot of push-back from journalists who don't want their headlines changed, but it's like, look, if you have a bad headline, you're hiding your story—the thing that you spent the bulk of your time on—from prospective readers. Do you wanna be "clever," or do you wanna get read?

I find it interesting that 80% wanted "links to related material," but only 60% were interested in "aggregat[ed] news from around the Internet." Makes me wonder how the poll defined "links" (if at all). I would guess that most people want their links to be curated from all over, but maybe I'm wrong or maybe "aggregator" is just too jargon-y for the average news consumer.
