The Department of Transportation might be forced to shut down the airspace in certain parts of the country if the government shutdown continues into next week.
The important piece of information from the article is the possible disruption to air traffic. That is stated clearly in the headline. The fact that she shutdown is causing it is a: pretty obvious given the state of the country right now and b: a reason to click the link if somehow you just crawled out from under a rock.
This is like, a textbook example of a good headline.
Anyway… my solution is the better headline.
It’s clearer.
And had the headline been mine, I wouldn’t have clicked. And that’s the point of headlines.
My job isn’t to click when your job is to inform.
And yes — the other version buries the lead.
Please forgive that I started this. It’s a demoralizing conversation.

You’re just wrong my guy. It’s ok.
