An article can be both engaging and informing, in fact, I would argue that an engaging and informative article is better than a purely informative article since more people read it.
A good title should enable you to make that decision but ultimately it's intention is to engage not inform, it's too short to inform. A title is NOT a reflection of the article.
If you aren't interested in genetic disease and/or don't have one and/or aren't interested in rare diseases, you can easily not read this article.

- zaarn 8y agoWhat would you change the title to, such that it fits your own guidelines?
- Aaargh20318 8y agoSomething like "a girl's struggle to get diagnosed", which is what the article is about.
- zaarn 8y agoThat's rather vague and leaves out that it's a rare genetic disease.
- Aaargh20318 8y agoBut the article isn't about the disease, it's about the struggle for diagnosis. What disease she eventually turned out to be diagnosed with is almost an afterthought inn the article, despite what the original title implies.
