How do I remove the gap between image and headline in CSS?

Video Screenshot http://somup.com/cYeubp1biR

There's a tiny bit of space between the image and the headline.

I don't see anything in the HTML or CSS that would purposely create space between these two elements.

What's the best way to remove the gap between the image and the text?

.section-1 {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
    margin: 40px 0px;
}
.featured-image {
    cursor: pointer;
}
.main-headline {
    text-align: left;
    background-color: #ffffff;
    padding: 24px 136px;
    margin: 0px -24px; 
}
h1 {
    font-family: "open sans"; 
    font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums;
    cursor: pointer;
    font-size: 48px;
    line-height: 52px;
    font-weight: 800;
    color: #01385e; 
    text-align: left;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    }

Only the CSS is shown here, but we'd need to see the HTML also to replicate the issue.
Even better, you could make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here.

That snapshot doesn't seem complete. The entire "image" directory is missing. Also the HTML links to a stylesheet named "sugar-feed-css.css", but the only one in the snapshot is "home.css".

However, I may have a solution anyway. It appears that the anchor element reserves some extra line height, but since this one contains only an image and no text, you can eliminate it entirely:

.section-1 a { line-height: 0 }

For future reference — In the "File" menu there's an "Upload File" selection you could use to upload the files individually after you make a new folder. You could also upload a file package and unpack it with console commands.

Thank you for providing the CSS recommendation to adjust the line height. It worked beautifully!

Would I have to manually upload the folder to the workspace? Not sure how to upload the images folder to the workspace.
