    I do enjoy the layout of newspapers. Having articles alongside other stories helps put them in context and encourages one to read things they might otherwise skip if they had to be clicked into.

    I often do research in old microfilmed newspapers and it’s nice to know that, say, WWI was going on in Europe at the same time as Baby Week 1916 (a US effort to reduce infant mortality by education parents on the importance of not killing their babies through poor sanitary and nutritional practices)
