I hate how some news and research organisations label/ choose a title for their reports and articles.
I started really noticing it more and more. NPR is one of the organizations guilty of this. They would sometimes title their articles in a pretty non-descriptive way. Sometimes I find out about their articles on social media when someone post it with a title that expose the main interesting points in their title or excerpt.
I started to feel that some random organization out there might have released the most detailed and ground-breaking report in the whole year, but they had chosen a weird title that does not say what the report is talking about and that is why no one know about it.
The worst of them all is the organizations that give their articles 2-3 words title. It kind of defeats the purpose of titles as a whole. How the hell is anyone supposed to understand and read that excellent article if it has a name like "Cold Morning" with no subtitle.
Overall, I really hope organizations start to at least have a deeper titles (Long or short) that actually describe what I am about to read.
Edit:
to solidify my point here is a original article from NPR: A popular climate website will be hobbled, after Trump administration eliminates entire staff
Here is the title I posted with and that in my opinion describes what is happening: Climate.gov will stop publishing new content on July 1.
This is not the best title here, but it's a huge improvement over the original article.

UK’s Porn Providers Agree to Age Checks by July 25; Aylo, Owner of Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, Will Add Age Assurance Checks.
By 25 July, all sites and apps that allow pornography – whether they are dedicated adult sites or social media, search or gaming services – must use highly effective age checks to ensure children are not normally able to encounter it. Online firms who publish their own pornography are already required to protect children from it, and thousands of sites have already introduced robust age checks in response.Major porn providers operating in the UK have confirmed to Ofcom that they will introduce effective checks by next month’s deadline in order to comply with the new rules. They include PornHub, the most-visited pornographic service in the UK. Other services who are happy to be named at this stage include BoyfriendTV, Cam4, FrolicMe, inxxx, Jerkmate, LiveHDCams, MyDirtyHobby, RedTube, Streamate, Stripchat, Tube8, and YouPorn. This represents a broad range of pornography services accessed in the UK.
Monitoring compliance with these new duties is a priority for Ofcom. If any company fails to comply with its new duties, Ofcom can impose fines and – in very serious cases – apply for a court order to prevent the site or app from being available in the UK. As part of our work enforcing the Online Safety Act, we have already launched investigations into four porn providers and won’t hesitate to take further action from July.

Economy of Genocide: UN Report Links Western Firms to Israeli War Crimes
A powerful new report submitted to the UN Human Rights Council by Francesca Albanese, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967, is drawing sharp condemnation — not only from Israel but also from the United States.Titled ‘From Economy of Occupation to Economy of Genocide’, the report delivers a searing indictment of corporate involvement in Israel’s settler-colonial enterprise and its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, accusing private and state-linked companies of enabling apartheid, war crimes, and genocide.
