Fake Headline Maker prank example made with PrankAI — Fake Headline Maker

Writing a Headline That Reads as Real

Newspaper headlines drop articles and use the present tense. 'Local Man Adopts Ninth Cat', not 'A local man has adopted his ninth cat'. Keep it under eight words so it fits the width in one or two lines of large type. A subhead underneath can carry the second half of the joke.

Headline Only, or the Whole Page

The download is a full front page, so you can crop to the headline for a meme or send the whole thing. The photo caption is a second place to put a line. Name the person and the day, and keep the caption as dry as the headline.

Keep It Between Friends

Use an invented paper name. Do not copy a real outlet's masthead, and do not write a headline about a real event or a stranger. A headline about your roommate is a prank. A headline about the news is misinformation.
