Every story should have a by line. That by line is the name & title of the writer. The by line should be below the headline.
Jump- when the story "jumps" from the front page to a page inside. It has too have a place too direct w/ a headline. When you get to that page there should be that same headline.
Story divider lines- lines in-between stories.
Screen- should have a key line. (Little thin lines that go around text or photos.) Ex. Colored Principals message. Have a box & A Color. Screen percentage is 20% or less.

Front Pages of The World

1.) My favorite newspaper front page was the Lubbock Avalanche Journal. It looks really modern but informative. Plus it's colorful & it catches your attention.
2.) My favorite headline is the obvious  one which is "Shattered". It uses Human Interest b/c it makes you wonder what they're talking about which causes you too read it.
3.)There are three stories on the cover w/ lots of subtitles telling you what you can find inside.
4.)All the newspapers have a big picture covering the top story & about two or three other minor stories around it it.
5.)Some look boring some look interesting. They have different kinds of styles making the audience have different perspectives on whether they want too read it or not. I guess it just depends on the person.
