Transcriber’s Note
The original text contains typical examples of all kinds of newspaper work. These examples are analyzed to show the fundamental principles that underlie their construction. Additionally, they are used to aid the student by giving specific suggestions about their application.
The implications of this are that much of the discussion in the transcription below would make little sense unless these examples are displayed exactly as they appear in the book. To that end, and where an example cannot be exactly rendered in HTML, the original image from the book is used instead.
In all cases where this is done, a transcriber's note is placed immediately below the image. These notes are easily recognised as they are boxed text in a very small font and displayed against the same background colour as this note. They should be skipped by most readers.
They serve two main purposes: (1) to provide the text contained in each image so that it is searchable; (2) to assist readers with visual impairment who rely on screen reading applications for access to online texts.
The cover image was created by Thiers Halliwell and is placed in the public domain.
