A recent Harvard University study revealed that news headlines using simple language attract more clicks and engagement compared to those with complex phrasing. Researchers conducted nearly 9,000 tests with over 24,000 headlines from The Washington Post and Upworthy, finding that simpler headlines had higher click-through rates. A signal detection task (SDT) showed readers more closely read simpler headlines when presented with varied complexity, suggesting simple writing can boost engagement even for complex stories. Simpler headline language could give publishers and advertisers a competitive edge by making content more accessible, increasing audience engagement and leading to higher sales for marketing.
