This research is about the analysis of linguistic features and types of news headlines in articles at New York Times. The purpose of this research is to find out the types of news headlines in the articles about coronavirus at New York Times, published in May, June, and July 2020. The research uses the descriptive method to describe the linguistic features of the news and types of news headlines. This research reveals that there are uses of simple sentences, compound sentences, and simple past in writing headlines and there are simple and multiple sentence types in writing headlines in the New York Times. The results show that headlines in the New York Times only use 2 of the 8 linguistic features, namely using common words that are easily understood by readers and using verbs on each headline even though some headlines use punctuation in writing headlines.
