Summarizing a news story in a way that will get people to read it is a challenge. That's why newspapers employ people whose sole purpose is to write headlines.
Of course, how headline editors choose to grab one's attention often says a lot about their employer and/or audience. For instance, yesterday the Oklahoma Supreme Court issued a ruling on Randy Terrill's controversial anti-Mexican legislation (House Bill 1804). What did the ruling say? You could read the story every major reporting agency in the city had yesterday (all of them basically said the same thing) or you can read the headlines from every major reporting agency (and get very different outlooks about what happened).
