John Rentoul has been running the Questions To Which The Answer Is
"No!" Awards for several years now. Celebrating the journalistic
skill of basing an entire article on a fantastically far-fetched
question-based headline (and only admitting that the premise is
extraordinarily unlikely in the final paragraph), his blog attracts
large numbers of followers keen to submit their own favourites.
Here for the first time Rentoul brings together the winning entries
over the years. With an introductory essay on the art of headline
writing, articles are grouped thematically in subjects from sports
to politics, current affairs and history. Featuring such
journalistic gems as: - Was JFK killed because of his interest in
aliens? - Can your dreams predict the future? - Is this penguin a
communist? - Has Marilyn Monroe been reincarnated as a shop
assistant called Chris? ...and many more, 'Questions To Which The
Answer Is "No!"' will leave you not knowing whether to laugh or cry
at the state of journalism today.
