- martin_a 6y ago> Is it a known/named phenomenon? I think it's just called "journalism" these days. I find it hard to find publications without clickbaity stuff like this.
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoI'd say it's marketing/business rather than journalism, the journalism takes something of a back seat - like the role of music in hit factories.
- cm2187 6y agoIt's not wrong, but I do not see it used only for clickbaits. It is also largely used to push political opinions. And these are editorial decisions.
- dekhn 6y agoDunno if there is a name for it. See https://www.quora.com/Why-are-newspaper-headlines-written-by-copy-editors-and-not-by-reporters-and-how-did-this-practice-begin-historically https://www.quora.com/Why-are-newspaper-headlines-written-by... (although this is incomplete; it omits the narrative pushing).
