Newspaper Almost Loses Head

So you're flipping through the 6/6/14 edition of the Press-Republican and you noticed something funny about one article at the top of page A4.  Where's the headline?


Let's zoom in.  


OK, there it is in the upper left-hand corner.  Shouldn't a headline be in LARGE TYPE without a surfeit of white space around it?

And just below the itty-bitty headline that seems to be a cutline/caption in search of a photo.  (Click on image for larger view.)

The other day I was at the grocery store and I heard a man grumbling about the PR while he paid for a copy, three quarters placed on the counter.  "75 cents and it's not worth a nickel.  I'll be glad when they go out of business and something better comes along."

Ouch.

Press-Repulsive go out of business? Never. Where would the !% spew their putrid propaganda, sell their worthless junk, and convince the cognitively challenged of the glorious neo-conservative [read neo-nazi] agenda?
