Morphology
The meaning 'to receive prominent attention in the news' is directly derivable from combining 'make' (to cause or produce) with 'headline' (the title of a news story): a B1 learner who knows both words can infer that something 'makes headlines' when it causes headlines to be written about it. This compositional logic is common cross-linguistically (e.g. Spanish 'hacer titulares', French 'faire la une'), supporting straightforward transparency.
Etymology
Make headlines comes from newspapers: an important story was printed in big letters at the top of the page, the headline. So to make headlines today means to get wide 'news attention'.
