It's hardly Major, and it barely qualifies as News Media, but the Hickory Daily Record, published in my home town of Hickory, NC, once ran the headline "Shriners Help Burn Victims". I wish I had saved it!!!
Several years ago I read that the Philadelphia Daily News had sworn off tacky headlines. Not so.. soon after, there was a tragic incident where four people at a local hospital died due to incorrect dosages in their intravenous drug bags. The Daily News chose to run this story with the headline "IV Dead".
