make the headlines
Dominate news coverage
To make the headlines is to become newsworthy, to do something significant enough to be reported prominently in the media.
The phrase often implies sudden notoriety: She made the headlines when her affair with the senator became public.
It can be positive or negative—a breakthrough discovery makes the headlines just as a scandal does.
