  1. 1. The first page of a newspaper includes the title, all the publication information, the index, and the main stories that will capture the most attention. The day's major story will be placed in the most prominent position on the front page, typically above the fold, with a large, bold-faced headline. The topic could be of a national scope or it might be a local story.
  2. 3. These are letters from readers to a newspaper, usually in response to an article. They often include strong opinions about something the newspaper has published. Letters to the editor should not be used as objective sources for a research paper, but they could prove valuable as quotes to demonstrate a point of view.
  3. 4. A byline appears at the beginning of an article and gives the writer's name.

  7. 9. An editorial is an article written by the editorial staff from a specific perspective. The editorial will offer the newspaper's view of an issue. Editorials should not be used as a main source of a research paper, because they are not objective reports.
