Is the present perfect tense here more correct, or should it be the past tense, "Steve Jobs died?"
- mc32 15y agoFactually it's [someone] (has) died, of course. In reportage, the present tense is typically used for headlines no matter if present or past. I.e. "The Fed increases the overnight interbank rate by 25 basis points." "[Politician] wins senate race", etc.
