It’s time once again to announce the winners of the monthly headline contest. Here are the top picks for November.
First place comes courtesy of the sports department’s utility infielder, Scott Paske.
Roasted Corn
That headline popped up over the story of the KU-Nebraska football debacle of last month.
Second place went to copy desk chief Michael Roehrman:
So much to do, it’s surreal
That one was splashed atop a story about the extensive restoration work needed on Wichita State’s “Personnages Oiseaux,” the Joan Miro mural that adorns south side of the Ulrich Museum.
Third place went to deputy copy desk chief Lisa McLendon:
Outrage?
We shrug at
$3 gas now
That one was pumped into the space above a story about the ever-rising price of gasoline and the little reaction it now garners.
This month we added a new twist to the contest: we asked your opinions.
The online pick for No. 1:
It’s no-show time
Written by Michael Roehrman, that one appeared with a story about the Hollywood writers’ strike.
The No. 2 online pick:
Sebelius
quip sours
Kansas’
vintners
Written by copy editor Jennifer Comes, it was with the story of Gov. Sebelius’ “If you ever see Kansas wine, don’t drink it†jest in Washington state.
Well done, everyone.
