Write publication-ready headlines for news articles, features, opinion pieces, and digital content — optimised for the target medium (print, web, or social), generating multiple variants ranked by editorial strength.
Required: The article text or a detailed summary of the story (who, what, when, where, why), the target publication type (broadsheet, tabloid, regional newspaper, digital outlet, magazine).
Optional: Tone direction (neutral, urgent, provocative, witty), specific SEO keywords to incorporate, character limit for the primary headline, number of variants needed (default: 5), platform-specific requirements (print vs. web vs. social share text).
5 headline variants, each on its own line, preceded by a label indicating its type and purpose. Character count shown in parentheses after each headline. Variants ordered from most editorially conservative to most engagement-optimised. A brief note (one sentence) below each headline explaining the editorial logic or trade-off. Total output: 150-250 words.
Article summary: The city council voted 8-1 last night to ban single-use plastics — including disposable cups, cutlery, and food packaging — from all municipal buildings starting 1 January next year. The lone dissenting vote came from Councillor Davies, who argued the policy would cost the council an estimated £340,000 in the first year to transition to reusable alternatives and would disproportionately burden smaller catering contractors. Supporters cited the council's 2030 net-zero target. Target: regional newspaper (print and web editions).
