It took two or three attempts to understand who was being shot, and
why, in this Guardian headline: "Tourism NZ says ditch influencer shots
for something new." Why would anyone want to influence a ditch? Don't
bother to point out that "shots" would need to be "shot" to be a past
participle: I know, but it could also be a typo. Also, the fact that it
happened in New Zealand rather than, say, the USA made it less likely
that anyone was shot.
How could the idea be conveyed more clearly without needing a longer headline?
