headline
Story's bold introduction
A headline is the title of a newspaper article or story, set in large type to capture attention: The scandal made headlines.
Headlines compress information into punchy phrases, often dropping articles and auxiliary verbs.
By extension, headlines are the main stories themselves: Let's go to the headlines.
To headline is to be the featured performer: She headlines at the comedy club tonight.
Something that grabs headlines attracts significant media attention.
