Why Numbers in Headlines Need Context
A number in a headline can sound precise while hiding important details. A figure may refer to a single place, a short period, or a particular definition that differs from what readers assume. Percentages can look large when the starting number is small, and totals can look small when spread across many people. The article itself usually explains what is being counted and how, which is why it is worth reading beyond the first line.
