This seems helpful so readers know what the story is about, segwaying them into the hook. The headlines are carefully curated to ensure the reader is intrigued to read more. Next, their storytelling takes over. Most readers of The New York Times trust the source to be "reliable" and in-depth. This detailed writing brings people back for more every time.
