Best Ways to Get Headlines for News Writers

There are many ways to find news headlines to write an article about. You have instant access to headlines using front pages to sites like Yahoo or Google News. But if you want to be a regional news writer or just want to find interesting headlines for a particular region you might need to do a little digging. You might also find that by the time you have taken the time to find the headlines on some of the bigger sites other people here or elsewhere on the web have already written an article and beat yours. I am going to give you a few tips that will hopefully help you in your news writing endeavors and which may help you to beat out other people who normally get the story before you do.

Subscribe to News Paper Headlines via E-mail -

Currently I subscribe to several different newspaper's daily headlines emails. This gives me a chance to sort through the news stories from the serious and breaking news to the funny and off beat news stories. Currently I have been using The Boston Globe, The Union Leader out of New Hampshire, The Eagle Tribune out of Massachusetts, The Orlando Sentinel and The Miami Herald.

If you want to use the one's I am using, go ahead! What I may not find a story worth writing about you may. Big cities offer more headlines compared to smaller newspapers. I also have headlines e-mailed to me from another newspaper from North Conway, New Hampshire, but I don't really get much out of that one except what's going on in North Conway.

If you are into writing sensational news articles, you might want to choose something like The New York Post. If you want to write business news or news about stocks you might want to choose The Wall Street Journal. Either way the headlines come out pretty early, usually before 6AM, and that gives you a chance to get the top headlines really early.
