It's critical that headlines match a published page or text. So do not simply copy and paste the journalist's name or a non-published article after a headline and e-mail the cover letter to the editor. [title] Include a colon at the top of the page and then a colon after it. [step] The first colon will act as a prompt and the other colon will be used to write the rest of the article. The headline should be at least three-quarters of the way down the entire body of the article. Rarely is a headline more important than the rest of the article.
