Bumped headlines or Heads... when two headlines over two stories are placed side by side on a newspaper page.

It creates a competition between the two stories. Called Bumping.

Usually the story on the left gets read... and once the reader is done?

The reader invariably turns the page. leaving the poor story on the right unread and very lonely. It gets "bumped" because of the bumping heads.

Aesthetically it is anathema to old editors and journalism professors.

Pedants like me in other words.

Is it a sin?

Of course not.

Should it be avoided?

Of course.
