First, it's important to note that there are multiple ways to earn achievements. I'm just listing the easiest ways or showing how I got them. However, don't limit yourself to my description, you are also free to say how you achieved achievements so that others who read this article can achieve better achievements! As always, let me know if any mistakes need to be corrected, I'd be very grateful!

I didn't write out the exact details, step-by-step how each achievement was earned since most achievements are easy to get (even without trying). However, if you need step-by-step instructions, please let me know so I can add more details to this guide.
Game Information
Headliner is a very straightforward game, choosing to approve or reject articles based on where you want people to choose on a topic.

There are five different news topics:
1. Purist
2. Genetic Modified
3. Refugees (Learis)
4. Police
5. Other neutrals (say holiday news)


The most important point is that you must express your position in the 1-4 news to influence people's opinions and get corresponding achievements.
Your conversations with your spouse and children do not affect the achievement of the stance achievement, only the family achievement, so you can skip them when completing the stance achievement.
(Note, in the game, the Learis conflict is called Pro/Not Pro Refugees, in this article, the author calls it Learis)

As a note, when the purist stance or the genetically modified stance is chosen, if you don't want to die in the streets at the end of the game (as your stance will drive the opposing crowd to madness), you can control the police news to make the street There are police patrols to make sure you don't die. However, your death is irrelevant to most achievements.
Specific Documents
Note, if the news is against Purist, then it is Pro-Purist/anti-Purist in the same way

Achievement
I divided the achievements into two groups: fast and hard. Quick Achievements are easy to get and don't require you to focus on any one option, and they (and even others) can be earned the first time you run the game. Hard achievements aren't necessarily hard to get, but your choices matter to them.
Fast
Days 1-7: These achievements are very easy to achieve, you don't need to worry about pissing off the Purist/Genetically Modofied crowd because they won't kill you until the end anyway.


Headline: Just finish the game, no matter how long it takes you to finish it.




Return Customer: Play the game again




Share Your Story: When you finish the game and enter the end interface, select the "Share Your Story" button

Hard Part: 01

Senior Headliner: Promoted to Senior Headliner Editor


- For this achievement, don't be too good and make your boss feel like you did a good job, not too good and not too bad. So basically your goal is not to listen to the boss but also not to ignore the boss's demands.
Day 1: GM 101 rejects the rest
Day Two: Thoroughbred Workers Can Stimulate the Economy | Genetically Modified People's Rights at Risk! reject the rest
Day 3: We don't need sirens | Learis refugees to need shelter! reject the rest
Day 4: Galixia welcomes Learis refugees | Cityscape destruction shows we're not safe | Say "yes" to subsidized GM measures! reject article 4
Day 5: Learis refugees may get free genetic modification | Tima Grinspan must quit! reject the rest
Day 6: Healthcare Funding | Why You Need Genetic Modification | The Healthcare Crisis Deny the Rest
Day 7: Historic Litigation Victory for Genetic Modified! reject the rest
Day 8: Deny all


Regional Headliner: Promoted to Regional Headliner Editor


- Surprisingly, this achievement is much easier than an advanced headline editor, you just have to choose a stance (purist or genetically modified) and your goal will be to gain more rights for the purist or genetically modified. The goal is to make your boss happy and your news more popular, so don't be frivolous on one side. You can add pro/anti-refugee positions at the same time, police positions are irrelevant.


Banhammer: Reject all news you can


- This is the easiest achievement to deny all news except 3 times.
- When you are faced with news of choice (you have to choose one and reject the other)
- When you're told you need to pass two news articles, no more and no less
- When you're told you need to pass at least three news articles: make sure you reject the fourth!
- Any other possible articles must be rejected!


Informer: Pass all the news you can pass


- This is also the easiest achievement to pass all news, with only 2 exceptions.
- When you are faced with news of choice (you have to choose one and reject the other)
- When you're told you need to pass two news articles, no more and no less
- Any other possible articles must pass!


Firestarter: Incite a riot


- This achievement is also very simple, basically, just make the public go crazy for the designated group (genetic modification / purebred / refugee)
- If they're crazy enough, there's a group of people who will carry bombs into the crowd during the festival. The easiest way to tell if you have enough hate is if you receive a black warning (from a purist or genetically modified population). You can also feel the emotions of people when you walk home. Just make sure you choose a position and don't pass anything that isn't yours, or you'll be hated by the public (because it's going to be inconsistent with your past positions and make you a jerk).
-The experience is that if you are forced to pass more news, only approve news of your position, then neutral or police news. (For example, being asked to pass at least three news articles or no less than two news articles)


Celebricide: Celebration Murder, Seeing Stars Die


- Seeing Tima Grinspan really die. The easiest way is to take a Genetically Modified stand and pass any news about pro-Genetically Modified and against purist. This will make the public anti-purist and Tima Grinspan will be hated. You can post anything about Tima Grinspan, just make sure you don't get past the "Tima Grinspan shouldn't be at the festival" news (she might back off if the public hates the purist crowd). (As far as I know) you have to get past the news that Tima Grinspan has decided to continue performing at the festival (otherwise how would a sniper know she would show up?).


Peacemaker: Leading a Peaceful Holiday Celebration


- Remain Neutral. Try not to make people hate people of a certain position too much. Your best bet is to pass an equal amount of pro-pure and pro-GM news, skipping any pro/anti-immigration news as much as possible (if you're forced to pass, that's ok, but don't pass any more later). You can fill it with neutral or even police news, but if you're not forced to pass a specified amount of news, don't pass it (like trying to post too much pro-police news). This achievement can be completed in conjunction with the Banhammer achievement, as long as you remain neutral.
- If you want to reduce the steps to get the achievement, you can also go ahead and follow the same steps as the Badliner achievement, because the ending is just as peaceful! This achievement can also be obtained in conjunction with the Banhammer or Informer achievements.


Errand Boy: Errand Boy, finish all errands


- Must get all the items your spouse asks for (yes, they'll ask you for items that are easy to pick up on the commute). Note that if you take a fully pro-police or pro-purist stance, you will not be able to complete this achievement, as there will be riots over stance issues in front of certain businesses (which will result in you being unable to purchase items).
- You must pass the "support tomatoes" news because if you don't pass it will be sold out and you won't be able to buy it!
- This achievement can be completed together when you are in a neutral position. You can also achieve this by taking a stand against refugees (because refugees only riot in front of police stations).


Badliner: Lose Your Job


- This achievement is trickier for me because if you don't piss off your boss or you're too weak, you don't get fired. Your family conversation is irrelevant, so feel free to skip it. Here are my options:
Day 1: Purist: Is it a Financial Burden? reject the rest
Day Two: Purist Workers Can Stimulate the Economy | Genetically Modified People's Rights at Risk! reject the rest
Day 3: Boycott GMO Sandwiches! | Learis refugees need shelter! reject the rest
Day 4: Galixia welcomes Learis refugees | Cityscape destruction shows we're not safe | Say "yes" to subsidized GM measures! reject article 4
Day 5: Learis refugees may get a free genetic modification, reject the rest
Day 6: Educational Funding/Medical Funding Available | The night before the festival | Stop those damn drones. reject the rest
Day 7: Deny All
Day 8: All rejections (although none at this point is okay)


Death By Press: Death


-Another easy achievement, just provoke a purist or a genetically modified person and they'll want to kill you.
-Choose a position: Pro-Purist or Pro-GM, then only pass news that supports that position and opposes the other position, and if you choose to be pro-GM, pass only news that supports GM and opposes purist.
- By not needing cops and any news against cops (don't forget to pass against drones!). If no cops are there, no one will interfere when you get killed.
Hard Part : 02

Happy House1: Keep your wife and daughter happy


- Another easy achievement. It doesn't matter whether you are male or female, just make sure your spouse is female.
- This achievement is crucial to your conversation with your family. You have to make your wife feel happy: show you are happy at your job; worry when family members are sick; get all the things your spouse asks for if you can (it doesn't matter if you can't get them because of the riots) this achievement); when the conversation is just you and your wife, agree with everything she says. The exception is when your daughter is present.
- Don't be too harsh on your daughter. If she wants to have fun, tell her to let her have fun. Do the same thing as your spouse and say what she wants to hear when it's just you and your daughter. The most important thing is to tell her at the end that it's okay to go to the holiday celebration, regardless of the public's feeling or your spouse thinking it's not safe (don't worry your spouse will get mad at this).
-As for your stance choice, the most reliable way to accomplish this achievement is to be pro-purist or pro-GM, as this will make you happy at work and your job will provide medical benefits, guaranteeing your spouse because of your job Happy to be able to afford medical expenses. I'm not sure if passing that country leaning toward education or leaning toward healthcare would affect this achievement.
- Again I'm not sure if this matters, but it does help improve the mood of your spouse: whether you choose a country in the news that is more medical or more educational, make sure you pass this news. Because whether you choose to go through education or medical care, they're an enjoyable topic to talk about (and one less thing for your spouse to worry about).
- If you're not a total jerk and can afford your spouse's medical bills and aren't strict with your daughter, you'll get this achievement! If you are too strict with your daughter, she will disappear (aka die), or go to jail.


Happy House2: Keep your husband and daughter happy


-Same as above achievement, make sure your spouse is male!


Safe Haven: Completing the game welcomes refugees with open arms


- This is a relatively easy achievement and you can do it with a pro-purist or pro-GM stance. Although this achievement may be easier to accomplish in a pro-purist stance (since the refugee population is not genetically modified). What you need to make sure of is only getting close to the refugee news. Make sure you don't pass any news against or bad-mouthing refugees.


They're Taking Our Jobs! : Finish the game with a firm anti-immigrant stance


- This achievement is the opposite of the Safe Haven achievement above, just go through the news against refugees and don't make the public sympathize with refugees


Purist Power: Finish the game with a hard pro-purist stance


- One of the easiest achievements in the game. Just pass the news that supports purists and opposes genetic modification. Your stance on refugees is irrelevant because the public will be more concerned about the battle between purists and genetic modification.


Modified First: Finish the game with a pro-modified stance


- One of the easiest achievements in the game. Just by pro-GM and against purist news. Your stance on refugees is irrelevant because the public will be more concerned about the battle between purists and genetic modified.


Police State: Guiding Galaxia into a police position


- Yet another simple achievement, go through all pro-police news and ignore any anti-police news.
Hard Part: 03
That's partly because the last two achievements are a bit odd: Amber Emergency Notice (Children Abducted) and Youth Crime.
- Note: I'm pretty sure these two achievements can be achieved in different ways, of course, it all depends on your choice. However, here are the steps on how I got both achievements. I tried twice to get there if you find any problems please let me know!



Delinquent: Complete the game with your daughter missing


-Basically, you want to take a purist position, but you don't want people to hate refugees too much (try to keep playing dumb) or keep your daughter from focusing too much on the modified and purist debate. I'm not sure how important conversations with family members are because the importance of conversations can change based on your choices. However, here are the steps I took to accomplish this:

-Day 1: Discrimination of purist intermarriage | Riot right in front of our door Refusing the rest
Family Talk: "Great" | "Uh, people" | "Amen!" | "I'm sure it will pass" | "Almost" | "I have to be fair" | "Focus on your studies" | "How's it going" | "What do we have" | "Sure "
- Day 2: War of Learis | Tima Grinspan is here! The rights of purists are at stake! | Puristworkers can stimulate the economy
Family Talk: "Can't complain" | "Yeah" | "It's time to see a doctor" | "I changed it later" | "I asked your mother for help" | "They deserve equality" | "Of course, I would" | "Yes, here it is!" ( or no, if you don't pick it up) | "Of course" | "Can't wait"
- Day 3: Reader's Letter: What if my job is taken by refugees? | Boycott Modified sandwiches! | Learis refugees need shelter! reject the rest
Family talk: 'Protesters block the front' | 'ridiculous' | 'We need to guide her more' | 'We need to help refugees' | 'You're right she needs to stay at home' | 'I might get a promotion' | 'I'm glad I can eat them" | "your little belly is so cute"
- Day 4: Galixia welcomes Learis refugees | Tima Grinspan is a purist, so what? | The destruction of the cityscape shows that we are not safe
Family talk: "I think the patrolling is too much" | "How are you feeling" | "We'll take care of it" | "How's your plate" | "Of course"
- Day 5: Say "No" to Forced Genetic Modification! | No, Galixia will not be invaded | The unknown dark side of the club | Learis refugees may be forced to work reject the rest
Family Talk: "Probably still working" | "You can go if you study hard" | "I got stopped too" | "It's going to be fun" | "We're just sticking to the facts" | "Oh no" | "No" | "Sorry I can't" | "I love taking pictures"
- Day 6: Stop Those Damn Drones | The Night Before the Holiday Celebrations | Education Funding Reject the Rest
Family Talk: "Great" | "I'm so sorry" | "You should stay home" | "I'll always support you" | "What do we have?"
- Day 7: Historic Litigation Victory for Purists! Tima Grinspan insisted on appearing!
Family Talk: 'It's Okay' | "Daughter Shouldn't Be Home"
- Day 8: It doesn't matter, you'll know right away at work! If you don't see any articles about missing persons, you've already earned this achievement.


Amber Alert: Complete the game with your daughter missing


- This achievement is largely the same as Delinquent, with minor changes in selection and family talk. You take a pro-modified position, and again, no strong anti-refugee position. Most of the family conversations are the same, but I added *** next to the revised conversations and kept a log of the day's conversations.

Day 1: Genetic Modification 101 | Purebreds: Is It a Financial Burden? | The riot is on our doorstep, reject the rest
Family Talk: *Same as Delinquent
Day 2: War at Learis | The rights of modified people are at stake! | Is that grocery store you frequent run by filthy purists? | Purist workers will drag the economy down. refuse the rest
Family Talk: "Can't complain" | "Yeah" | "Time to see a doctor" | "I asked your mother for help" | "We are a genetically modified country"*** | "I have to reconsider"*** | "Protesters blocked Store” | “Of course” | “Can’t wait”
Day 3: Reader's Letter: What If My Job Was Taken By Refugees? | Tima Grinspan: It's not what you think! | Learis refugees need shelter! reject the rest
Family Talk: "Joe's Sandwich" (none if you didn't buy it) *** *The rest is the same as Delinquent
Day 4: Galixia welcomes Learis refugees | says "yes" to subsidized GM measures! | The destruction of the cityscape shows that we are not safe, reject the rest
Family Talk: *Same as Delinquent
Day 5: Tima Grinspan must quit! | Say "No" to Forced Genetic Modification! | No, Galixia won't be invaded | Learis Refugees Might Get Free GM Deny the Rest
Family Talk: *Same as Delinquent
Day 6: Stop Those Damn Drones | The Night Before the Holiday Celebration | Medical Funding Deny the Rest
Family Talk: *Same as Delinquent
Day 7: Historic Litigation Victory for Modified! | Tima Grinspan insisted on quitting! reject the rest
Family Talk: Opinions don't matter, if your daughter doesn't come home, you're on your way to success.
Day 8: It doesn't matter, if you see an article about missing persons, you come home with some 'disturbing' news

Can I get some advice for the anti-immigrant achievement? There are some missing choices those are related to the previous ones. I am struggling to complete this achievement for a couple of days now.
Daydream Reality 3 Jul, 2023 @ 10:55am 
Thank you for this guide! For some reason, I wasn't able to get Informer or Banhammer, even though I followed all of the instructions.
Emmalicious 8 May, 2023 @ 11:33am 
The guide for peacemaker was so good, I also got Safe Haven and Badliner together all in one run!
