The biggest two problems I often see are inflammatory headlines and too much "both-sides-ism" that actually can make things seem less one-sided than they really are in an effort to not appear biased. The latter is an over-correction to often inaccurate claims of bias in the media.

Every agency is different, but all that ones I worked at asked you to write a suggested hed. And 99% of the time, that 6-8 word capsule was horrifically modified. It's gotten ten fold worse with the internet where it's all about getting someone to click your link.
