Well-crafted headlines benefit everyone. They help readers digest information and publishers sell news stories. But what if the headline is misleading? What if it's crafted just to get clicks and not to inform? "Clickbait" headlines may benefit advertisers and publishers (think $$$), but they don't benefit readers. And when they go viral, they can badly misinform the public. This week, look for clickbait headlines in the media that you consume and discuss them with your family. How many can you find before Sunday rolls around!?
The 8th Grade Boys basketball season ended last Thursday in the Regional Championship after a hard fought battle against Tri-Valley. Olympia lost 37-36 with Ty Gale (11 points), Mason Kruger (8 points), and Kam White (7 points) led the team in scoring. The team ended the season at an impressive 19-8. Congrats on a great season and best of luck to the team next year in High school!
