Journalists don’t write headlines for the most part, editors do. If you think the headline is bad you should email the newspaper, not the journalist, because they probably have no control over it.
And expecting a headline to be both succinct and completely explain the story is an unreasonable expectation. That’s why the article is there, to explain what the headline doesn’t. Despite what reddit and Twitter would have you believe, browsing a bunch of headlines is not reading the news.
“Summarize all the details of the article in the headline so that reading the article is unnecessary” is not an editorial standard held by any newspapers, to my knowledge.
Your use of quotation marks implies that you’re quoting me. Please point to where I said, "Summarize all the details of the article in the headline so that reading the article is unnecessary”
Or perhaps you’re acting in bad faith? I believe that may have been a strawman dark pattern you’ve just used.
Oh, you’re a debate pervert, not someone having a conversation. Kind of on me for not seeing that before now. Don’t worry about it, man. We’re done now.

Editors were once journalists, so I would expect them to keep with the standards, unless they got the job through fraud or nepotism

Insults, now?
It’s okay, I forgive you.
