Front page text
Headlines are the titles of news articles, printed in large type above the story: The scandal dominated headlines for weeks.
To make headlines is to become newsworthy.
Headlines also refers to the main act at a concert or show—the performer whose name appears largest on promotional materials.
The verb means to serve as that main attraction: She headlined the festival.
