Each month, members of the newsroom vote on their favorite headlines of the past month. Here are the winners for July (Yep, we’re a little behind).
In first place is this headline by senior journalist/designer Rod Pocowatchit.
Totes of the town
This gem was with a story about the latest tote bags for summer.
Second place was a tie.
One was by Features editor Lori Linenberger:
Lost Causes
This appeared with a story about those who are permanently, hopelessly directionally challenged.
The other second place went to deputy desk chief Lisa McLendon.
PepsiCo makes it clear:
Bottled water’s from tap
About, well, the headline tells you everything.
Third place went to Sports copy editor/online producer Josh Woods.
Venus rising
This was above a story about Venus Williams’ Wimbledon win over Maria Sharapova.
See an Eagle headline you like or think is noteworthy? Drop me a line.

About 50 business and government leaders from Wichita will leave for Jacksonville, Fla., on Tuesday for Visioneering Wichita’s second city-to-city trip. And for the second year in a row, The Eagle will tag along. Business reporter Jerry Siebenmark will travel with the Wichita contingent as it tours the University of Florida College of Medicine in Jacksonville and the advanced technology center at Florida Community College. The group also will tour Jaguars Stadium, although landing an NFL team for Wichita — unfortunately — is not on the agenda. The group is interested in Jacksonville’s downtown development efforts, how
it develops its future work force, and its health
care community and medical research efforts.
Jerry will have coverage of the trip beginning in Tuesday’s Eagle. He will resume with daily coverage on Kansas.com on Wednesday and in Thursday’s print edition. He will wrap up his coverage in Saturday’s paper when the Wichita group brainstorms on ideas it can steal and bring back to Wichita.
