]]> Our hockey team recently beat the N0. 1 ranked team in our league. This is a huge deal because we are not currently ranked.

Here’s the break down:

Both games were away games. Both games went into double overtime. Both games ended in a shootout. Both games technically count as a tie for the teams due to league rules. Our team won the shootout, but technically tied both games.Coming up with a headline that was catchy, but not misleading proved to be difficult. We thought cleverly inserting the words ‘Win’ or ‘Won’ could be interesting.

Two of a kind

But we thought it might get confusing or ignored.

So, how would you have titled this story? This is a tabloid sized newspaper so it favors shorter headlines.

The local newspaper ran the story with the headline “Twice as Nice”.

Detroit Daily Press to start publishing Nov. 23; home delivery starts Nov. 30

Two veteran publishers are launching a daily newspaper serving the Detroit area, where the two main players have reduced home delivery to survive in a struggling industry.

Brothers Mark and Gary Stern said Friday they’ll start publishing The Detroit Daily Press on Nov. 23, selling it for 50 cents daily and $1 on Sundays. Home delivery starts Nov. 30.

The paper’s 60 full-time employees are using the former offices of The Daily Tribune of Royal Oak, which moved.

The Sterns ran daily newspapers in Detroit in 1964 and 1967; New York in 1978; and Minneapolis in 1980 when workers at those cities’ major newspapers went on strike.

The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press in March reduced home delivery and increased electronic offerings.Detroit Daily Press Facebook site
