No need for a headline
Because some things are better left unsaid
As we were wrapping up The Election Issue, the staff at the Chronicle racked their brains for a headline that would sell. We needed a headline that would say “historic” and “connected to Chicago” at the same time. We played around with a few ideas, ultimately settling on no headline at all. Why, you ask? Well, our front cover is a photo, but there’s no one story to name. It’s the whole issue. We didn’t want our brainstorming to go to waste, though, so here are some of the headlines-that-couldn’t.
Fix it
Whew.
O yes he did
Obamerica
Obamenon
Here’s hoping
From a dream to a reality
Barack’n the USA
End of an error
Bamelot
Git ‘er done
Mr. Obama goes to Washington
That’s President Obama to you

Absolutely stunning cover photo! Better than most of the ones I have seen from news media. Brilliant to not have a headline- the photo says it all.
Congratulations Chronicle and well done!
