The term 'headline' itself has its roots in the 19th century, referring to the top part of a printed or illustrated page that summarizes the content. Historically, the use of headlines burgeoned with the rise of newspapers, as publishers sought ways to attract attention to stories. Over time, the verb 'to headline' became commonly associated not only with journalism but also with various forms of entertainment, including musical performances and events where prominent acts are featured. This evolution reflects the dynamic nature of language, adapting to changing media landscapes and cultural practices.
