The physical appearance of the news is lay out. Lay out includes the arrangement of type and art. How the paper is displayed amongst the audience, which is lay out. Layout and make up are synonymous words. After make up is completed the lay out is prepared.
There are various elements they are used in make up of the news paper. Magazine as well as book, the lay our designer can use the type; he can employ its size and grade to emphasize the news. Lines can be used for highlighting the news story; various colors to make the news piece attractive. Well combination of the text picture and the space can in hence the look of the paper leading to attract the attention of the public to become its audience.
Basically one can argue to nominalise the importance of designing of the paper and ask for improvements on the content and form of news alone. Bur how a reader can notice the well concluded first class news unless proper designing of the paper is done? It makes the reader harder to track down the news in paper. It may be the collection of alphabets and pictures without any sense. There are very few number of readers who ferrets down into the news paper to acquire the designated news story nut most often the reader reads the piece after they get it noticed. So the news story should be arranged properly according to their news value as the accepted fact the magazines and papers can influence its readers thus the arrangement of the news can pose upon the mind of the readers the value of the news.
Let’s presume a paper has to present a human right violence by a security person in a particular village to poor people in a rural area. Of course the news story is of significant news value but it is not possible to present as banner news. It has to be conveyed up to general public with importance and that should be accomplished with in the particular limit. Here the designer can play great role in presenting the news in box; the news may be enclosed by a thick line; the designer may again emphasis the news providing it with light black background he can also use a different type or italicize the font to make it noticed.
So the lay out and page makeup has a big thing to do with the journalism.
