Article Abstract:
Newspapers tend to commit mistakes in presenting graphics which make the news quite misleading. For instance, some newspapers use graphics to depict dramatic accidents or disasters such as the crash of airplanes or the sinking of boats. More often, however, those graphics only serve to attract the attention of readers and are therefore irrelevant to the story. Another common mistake is the use of graphics to tell the news visually, which is misleading since the facts presented are not accurate. Some newspapers also have the habit of hiding, confusing or diluting relevant statistics through graphics.

Article Abstract:
Analysis of the design and typography of the Carroll County Times finds that the headline fonts are easy to read and are attractive, but need greater variety with subheadings. Front-page layouts are well organized and attractive and the art that is used is displayed well. The design of the section fronts in general is strong and well organized, but the inside needs more consistent design to create better order on the pages. Overall, the Carroll County Times presents a good paper, and few minor adjustments could give the paper a modern look.

Article Abstract:
The St Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper chose a layout that appeals to readers and was approved by editors after discarding two earlier designs. The third design was conceptualized in response to evidence that readers prefer reading a short story before proceeding with a long one. Thus, the design was aimed at making the newspaper's stories newsy, providing a clear structure of the news, allowing readers to save time on reading and reflecting the city of St Louis.
