hiding entry-title doesn’t remove space

<header class="entry-header">
   <h1 class="entry-title" style="display:none;">
     <span class="riyad_title">News</span>
   </h1>
</header>

makes it invisible, but still occupies the same space; i would like to remove it entirely.
hide entry-header instead:

<header class="entry-header" style="display:none;">
   <h1 class="entry-title">
     <span class="riyad_title">News</span>
   </h1>
</header>
