Thank you!
(And for the implicit acknowledgement that, as a mere reporter, I don't have much influence over the headlines at all, and most often the editors don't use my proposed headline, subhead, or often intro paragraph.)

I don't have much influence over the headlines at all
So it's a bad low information title and you aren't defending it and know it's bad, or it's just fine to have a low information title? Seems like you're playing both sides here and not taking responsibility.
Er, what? No, neither.
I am a reporter; I write the articles. The editors write the headlines. That is how most publications work: it is completely normal and plain and standard.
I've been both a reporter and an editor, and in some roles, combined both. I have done paid writing for nearly 20 different publications in Britain, Europe, America, and Australia, starting in 1995. This is standard industry practice.

A person, their resume and a lot of irrelevant information.
No.
It is not bad.
The problem here is your lack of understanding, and also your hostile confrontational attitude... and in addition, apparently, poor reading comprehension.
No.
Yes.
It is not bad.
It is bad. Notice how you didn't give any reason that you can defend it, you just keep saying "nu uh", while also placing the blame on someone else.
It is bad because it contains no information on purpose, that's clickbait. Keeping as much information out of the title as possible.
The problem here is your lack of understanding,
If that were true you could explain it, but you haven't done any of that, you think you can just reply "No." without explanation.
your hostile confrontational attitude
Criticism with explanations and reasons behind it is not 'hostile and confrontational' just because you don't like it. This is projection, you getting upset over something you can't defend.
and in addition, apparently, poor reading comprehension.
Imagine calling someone 'hostile', then trying to just reply with variations of 'no, nope, nu uh' while flinging insults. The fact that you can't explain your opinion and for some reason think you don't have to while avoiding it with insults is very self righteous.
Dude. You are demonstrating, repeatedly, that you do not know how publishing works, have no idea what the different jobs are and why they are different. You display shock and anger at the notion that different people have different roles in which they do different work. This offends you for some demented reason that I do not care about, and you are repeatedly attacking it with insults and invective -- and then when I point this out to you, you are hurt and offended.
This is how the job is done, and there are good reasons, and it works. Since you are a random angry shouty man with a made-up name on the internet, I am not going to waste my time trying to explain it to you, as you will just shout insults at me from behind your silly offensive pseudonym.
You don't understand and it is very clear that you don't want to. You prefer to hide behind a made up name and throw insults.
I am not playing your childish game.
You are demonstrating, repeatedly, that you do not know how publishing works
None of this is true. If it was true you could explain how and why and you haven't explained any claim you made.
You display shock and anger
This never happened.
the notion that different people have different roles in which they do different work
You are hallucinating this as some sort of back peddle. It has nothing to do with anything.
Since you are a random angry shouty man
Seems like projection since all your posts are you getting upset instead of being able to back up anything you say.
I am not playing your childish game.
All you ever had to do was explain exactly why this isn't a purposely low information clickbait title and you can't. Instead you try to say there is nothing wrong, which you can't explain, and that it isn't your fault.
I think childish is making up hallucinations about things that don't matter and getting upset instead of giving evidence. I would think someone who "knows so much about publishing" would be able to explain themselves better than making the same claims with no evidence over and over. It's like you have never been challenged before and don't understand what's happening.
