"EVANS VANISHES…" MOST MISLEADING HEADLINE OF ALL TIME
"Evans Vanishes. Billionaire Kidnapper's way about unknown. Thirty heavily armed men move him out of Lagos at midnight. Police keep mum" This was the terrible breaking Headline, Rider and kicker which Nigeria and of course the world woke up to last Saturday. Fiam! It went! Like the hypodermic needle theory; a bullet shot from the media gun into the reader’s eye, head and mind. Boom! It exploded! Everyone push rushed for a copy, bloggers and online shared, instagrammed, tweet-retweeted and pinned continuously until it went viral... Whatever you may choose to term it; yellow journalism or sensationalism, the Sun Newspaper's publication of last Saturday was guilty of this unethical media fashion, with her fronting of 'Evans Vanishes' banner headline.
