Abstract

Sensational and conservative newspaper makeup presents a problem of vital interest to the age we are living. We are faced with the difficulty of placing before the public, stalking headlines; or on the contrary merely a cut and dried statement of facts. Of these two the former would result in the "headline readers"; while the latter would result in the well read public - those who would read the papers at all.
