Web Headlines

I was going through some web headlines to day and I found some interesting ones and some that don't work for me, meaning they didn't grab my attention.

5 that worked for me:
1. CARIFTA athletes converge on St. Kitts (caribbeannetnews.com) - That got my attention cause I am very interested in how my country, Grenada will do at the games. We have a BLAZING young man who we all look for to come back with a few medals and even the break records like he did back home.
2. One year on, Inzamam remembers Woolmer tradegy (caribbeannetnews.com) - It grabbed me cause I had forgotten about the CWC 2007 death of Mr. Woolmer and that headline just reminded about a sad situation that impacted alot of lives last World Cup.
3. Health authorities denies claim of TB outbreak in Grenadian prison (grenadianconnection.com) - Reports of Tuberculosis at the prison in Grenada surfaced last year, but was quashed after government and health officials said there was none, and to see talks have once again come up is very interesting for me.
4. Son of the Caribbean poised to become next NY governor (grenadianconnection.com) - It grabbed me because I was just interested to see who it was and which country he was from.
5. SAASS students celebrates Intercol win with a victory lap around Grenville (grenadianconnection.com) - Knowing how hard the local high school worked for that athletic victory it was nice to read about how they celebrated regaining a title they lost 3 years ago.

5 that didn't work for me:
1. Media updates from the RGPF (grenadianconnection.com) - It just goes to show how many times we as journalists don't take the time to get behind the scenes information, and we just run with news releases from organizations.
2. CARICOM leaders end meeting (grenadianconnection.com) - And???? It's too plain, doesn't tell me anything as to what meeting, where it was, what it was about, the most important thing coming from the meeting. It didn't grab me.
3. Government promises fiscal prudence as estimates laid (cananews.com) - It's confusing to me, and it took me a while to understand what was meant. A headline should grab u as soon as you lay your eyes on it not take you some time to figure out what the story is about.
4.T&T's team manager confident (cananews.com) - about what? It doesn't tell me anything.
5. Madeleine's parents accept apology (yahoonews.com) - Who is Madeleine, who apologized and for what. Again it doesn't tell me anything.
