No sooner has Press Gazette relaunched its headline of the month competition, than a story breaks which is a headline writer’s dream.
Mugger Lloyd Talbot was jailed after the retired art-teacher he attacked provided police with a portrait of her attacker.
Here’s how the headline writers handled it:
The Daily Star: DREW DUNNIT!
Daily Mirror: IN THE FRAME
Daily Express: Quick on the draw
My favourite?
The Sun with: LONG ARM OF THE DRAW
While the Daily Mail went for the less fun option of: Artists’s sketch nails her mugger.
