The writer/ reporter is never responsible for the headline - that's the sub-editors job. What is wrong with using the verb to vent? Using the following definitions - verb (used with object) ............... to give free play or expression to (an emotion, passion, etc.): ............... to give public utterance to: e.g. to vent one's opinions. ............... to relieve by giving expression to something: On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 9:00 AM, Brian Munyao Longwe via kictanet < kictanet@lists.kictanet.or.ke> wrote:

Rose, the dictionary definition notwithstanding, it's a verb associated with noise-making, and especially from civil society actors. One of those verbs whose original meaning is contextualised and anchored in biases. I'm ever curious about framings, and we've found from Research that headlines impact perceptions and reactions, sometimes even more than content itself. Hence my curiosity :) Regards, Nanjira.
