How to use 'willing' for the title of a new? #1 (permalink) Sat Mar 21, 2009 17:02 pm   How to use 'willing' for the title of a new?
 

Hi everyone,

I have seen the title of a news, 'Barack Obama: Administration willing to talk to Iran 'without preconditions'.

I want to ask the rule for a news, such as the term 'willing'. I see largely people don't use the be Verb(eg. is) before the term 'willing'. Is it kind of a rule for the news? Moreover, is there any other rule for the title of a news.

Thanks for helping me out in advance.

Maggie :lol:

Hi, SkiIuck and everyone,

I have no idea what you talked about actually. Could you explain more details or could any native speakers know this? Please tell me if you would like. I have heard that some people tell me that there are some rules for newspapers but I am not quite sure.

Thanks in advance.

Maggie^^

I think it is a rule not for news but for newspaper or magazine titles/ headlines. In a headline everything that can be omitted without compromising the meaning (and sometimes unwittingly compromising the meaning) is omitted to make a title shorter. It includes all the auxiliary words.
