On the TPC page, all elements mesh. Typography, photography and illustrative art are as important to each page as are thorough writing and careful editing. This scholarly text includes more than 200 examples from newspapers throughout the United States, 60 interviews and citations plus statistical tables that show how editors use various graphic elements in their publications._x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Divided into six sections, Elements of Newspaper Design shows how graphics and text must complement one another on a TPC page.
