 Journalism

“the collection
and editing
of news for
presentation
through media”
 nou
n
publications
issued on a
routinely basis
that report the
news, provide
commentary, offer
coverage, and
 The
front page
is the
focal point
Wider Columns
Clearer Fonts
Less amount of stories on the page
Locality
Online Front Page Surveys
Not neglecting “yesterday”
 Wow, the invention of the
printing press certainly has
contributed positively to
journalism!

First Germany, then other

European countries, and finally
America…these newspapers
sure are useful!
