2 THE COVER The layout: mise en page The masthead: the "banner" across the front page which identifies the newspaper and the date of publication ; the publication information on the editorial page A perfect balance between text and photographs enables the readers to assess the reliability of the information and to read in an entertaining way. An insight is given into the main articles in the issue: the lead (first sentences of an article) or the opening paragraphs of features are printed on the front page.
