How to use headline in a sentence?

1. Mel Jones:

   The recommendations put forward we know is a value-driven thing about making cricket as inclusive as we can. This isn’t a tokenistic ‘let’s grab a headline.’ This is just our day-to-day workings.

2. Jeff Halley:

   We seem to have reached a state of equilibrium after the recent headline-driven choppy trading and we need to see some new impetus for price direction.

3. Alvin Tan:

   There's quite a lot of scepticism in the market as to whether this fiscal package can change anything. Japan has already tried this a number of times and everyone knows it's not really as big as the headline figure suggests, what was exciting over the past month was the potential for monetary policy to act in coordination with the fiscal measures and we were definitely disappointed on that front last week. Coordination still seems a good way off.

4. Nicolas Martin, www.iatrogenic.org:

   The headline reads, "Docs say patients make them prescribe useless antibiotics." This puts a physician in roughly the same predicament as a serial killer. The latter says, "Stop me before I kill again, while the former says, "Stop me before I prescribe again."

5. Donald Trump:

   I said very good things about British Prime Minister Theresa May. I didn't think they put it in, but that's all right. I wish they put it in the headline.
