The Editor’s Desk

Each month members of the newsroom vote on their favorite headlines of the past month. Here are the winners for August (Yep, we’re still a little behind).

In first place is this headline by copy desk chief Michael Roehrman.

Concrete evidence

This appeared over a story about the city closing a crumbling bridge on South Broadway.

Second place went to a great play on words that sports editor Kirk Seminoff put over a Bob Lutz column about Barry Bonds’ asterisk-inducing home-run record:

All over
but the
doubting

Third place went to Michael for the headline on a story about a Wisconsin man who tried to rob a nun who had taken a vow of poverty.

He tries to
steal money,
he gets nun

See an Eagle headline you like or think is noteworthy? Drop me a line.
