I read this morning that the world's oldest man, japanese Tomoji Tanabe, aged 113, has died, which made me recall the last time - and the last time - and the last time - I read that the "World's oldest person died".
I guess that's what you call a recyclable headline. I wonder how many of those exist in the secret archives of the media? The cyclic reincarnation of news snippets. A whole new scientific field to explore.
Here are some of the recyclable headlines I can think of ...
- World's oldest person dies
- Summer is here!
- George Bush mistakes countries in speech
- Top politician resigns after sex scandal (recyclable mainly in England and the US)
- Heavy snow stops traffic
- Russian journalist killed in the street
- ...
You got any?
