1. Accuracy & Representation (4 marks) Was the headline in Question #1 an accurate representation of the article content? 

a) Explain your reasoning clearly 

Yes, the article was an accurate representation of the headline. It contained the most notable performances and insights from the NFL combine, which includes good and bad performances. This article, based on my sights, is mainly for fantasy footballers. It did include what to know about the best and contrastingly worst performances at the combine. It did not, however, have full details on all 8 that they claimed they had. For each athlete, they had a detailed summary of this athletes performance at the combine. At the end, where I was expecting to see the 7th and 8th notable performances, they lumped two tight ends into the same section. This felt lazy and like they were embellishing the number in the headline. 

b) Reference course discussion on misleading vs effective headlines
I think that overall, this headline was effective, although the number 8 was a little sloppy in my opinion. In class, we discussed how you can’t mess with numbers (ie, lie), although it wasn’t technically a lie, you can write for a specific number or choose another way to phrase it. This headline was effective, though even with the sloppy number for a few reasons, the use of an odd number, the use of the F pattern, and captivating words within the headline, which we discussed a lot in class.
