How the Broadcast Screenshot Works
The image is built to look like a photo of a television rather than a clean graphic — slight screen glare, the photo box over the anchor's shoulder, a lower-third chyron. Those imperfections are what make it read as a real screen grab someone took in a hurry.
Writing the Headline
Keep it short and keep it deadpan. News chyrons are written in flat, clipped language, and matching that tone is funnier than trying to be funny. The more boring the phrasing, the more official it looks.
Not for Real News
This is for jokes about your friends. Don't use it to fake a real event, a real outlet's branding, or anything a stranger could mistake for reporting.
