Creative headlines

Words can exasperate readers

Sir, – Regarding Breda O’Brien’s headline “Anyone who believes RTÉ is ideologically conservative is blind and deaf” (Opinion, July 2nd), would you agree that the wording in the headline itself is ideologically conservative?

Creativity in putting together headlines should be encouraged at The Irish Times, so there will be less exasperated readers, including myself, a capable deaf person. – Yours, etc,
