MHN: About Us


Our Fervent Approach As A Media Outlet 

As a mainstream media outlet, our primary objective is to serve our readers well and, most importantly, maintain the public’s trust. As journalists, we strive to keep the public’s trust, because it is on the foundation of trust that information is collected and exchanged. The public must trust journalists to provide accurate and valuable information, or the journalists’ works will be neither sought out nor believed. Sources of information must trust journalists to protect their identity, where applicable, and not to misrepresent them or their views. This can be seen as an ethical value, but it is also a pragmatic one: a media outlet cannot do business if it cannot obtain sources or be believed by the public.

How It All Started 

On Thursday, December 8, 2016, longtime journalist Andre Johnson deemed it necessary to carry out his journalistic vision by establishing Making Headline News, a mainstream media outlet that would greatly provide individuals from various walks of life the golden opportunity to generate some much-needed exposure through the media. A unique-designed, media-savvy business venture that was originally started by Johnson on January 28, 2014 in Memphis, Tennessee, exposure through the mainstream media has become an ever-so-popular trend, in large part because, well, everyone has a compelling, inspiring story to tell! This platform undoubtedly allows individuals around the globe to share their success stories.

NOTE: All advertisement through Making Headline News are nonrefundable, per media outlet policy. Effective: January 1, 2017.
