Hi friends, which one is right? I think both are correct depending on the media.

1. My name is on the headline of the news today.
2. My name is in the headline of the news today.

Answer

Thank you so much

Answer

"In" is the correct preposition, but we usually don't talk about one specific headline in this manner. We speak more generally and say headlines. "His name is always in the headlines for one scandal or another" "Did you see the headlines today? Things are bad."
You can say headline if you are talking about one specific headline. "The headline didn't mention his name, but the article did." "That headline about Trump grabbed my attention."
