Can't seem to get the font-size right

Hi, in this code challenge about media queries i can't seem to get the font-size for the .title element right. I don't know what i am doing wrong, since i think i am following the instructions right.

the instructions are: next, create a new media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 768px or narrower. Inside the media query, target the .title element an set the font-size to 1.4rem. Finally, targetthe h1 element and set its font-size to 5rem.

"did you specify the correct font size for '.title'?" is what keeps showing up.

thanks.

  @media (max-width: 1020px) {

 .main-header {
    background:tomato;
     color: white;
 } 

@media (max-width: 768px) {

 .title {
   font-size: 1.4rem;
         } 

 h1 {
   font-size: 5rem;
    } 
}

      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">

You are missing the ending curly brace for your first media style:

/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */
  @media (max-width: 1020px) {

 .main-header {
    background:tomato;
     color: white;
 } 
}  /* missing this brace */

@media (max-width: 768px) {

 .title {
   font-size: 1.4rem;
         } 

 h1 {
   font-size: 5rem;
    } 
}
