Headline Hunters is a 1968 British children's drama film directed by Jonathan Ingrams and starring Leonard Brockwell, Susan Payne, Stephen Garlick, Bill Owen, David Lodge and Frank Williams.

A bunch of kids help run the local newspaper after their father becomes ill.

In the process they foil a robbery at a local factory.

It has all the right ingredients for a children's film – an exciting but not too implausible story, experienced and reliable adult players, a minimum of dialogue and, above all, a director with a narrative flair and a rare gift for evoking natural responses from child actors.

There is a splendid suspense sequence at the climax, plenty of casual humour, and even a touch of visual poetry.
