About Headline
Headline is a catalog of media and public hoaxes — newspaper sensations, broadcast stunts, fabricated journalism — each autopsied from the hoax to the readers and viewers it fooled to the correction that exposed it.
What you'll find here
- What was faked, who it fooled, and the year it was exposed — stated up front, never buried
- A documented timeline, a three-act account, and exactly five contributing factors
- The method and the tell: how the fake was built, and the detail that finally gave it away
- Transferable lessons, and real references from named investigators, scholars, and press
Headline is part of The Credulity Files — a reference network of forgeries and hoaxes, told as clinical dossiers: fakes, faked science, impostors, and media hoaxes.
