You're really making me think here. Thank you!

What happens when the original title is misleading or clickbait? Personally I like how HN handles things in this case

Probably should find another source in that case, but as with other examples brought up, I think a situation like this could be dealt with at moderator discretion.

How about if you want to ask a question about a news article as the main focus of the post, but also want to include context about the article?

Your question should be in the body of the post not the title really but hard to say without a solid example.

Or if you’re making the post to discuss a related topic, and include multiple articles?

Hey an easy question! That would be fine.

On that note, what even counts as a news article? What if I post a link to a reddit thread about a news article?

We don't speak of that place here do we?
