Nothing is more dramatically loaded, more perfectly formed than a news-in-brief two-word header. And nothing and no one, ahem, gives better header than The Ballymoney Times.
Oil Theft – WHAMMY!!
Petrol stolen – DOUBLE WHAMMY!!
Keys found – RELIEF!!
Logs stolen – DRAMA!!
Alleged assault – INCONCLUSIVE!!
Man arrested – CONCLUSIVE!!
Window broken – IRRITATING!!
Signs stolen – INFORMATIVE!!
Top notch reporting. Then there was this gem.
This is the editorial equivalent of: ‘Look into my eyes, not around the eyes, look into my eyes... you’re under! £17.5m is not a lot money etc...’Councils owe £400m, but Ballymoney and Moyle only owe £17.5m
Well done, Ballymoney Times! You are the Bobballs' Newspaper Of The Week...
