Newspaper Article Organization Banner or Flag The name of the newspaper Set off by Size, Color, Special type or Some other design feature (looks different). Masthead: Information about the publication, its editors, its owners and its location Sometimes an emblem or a motto is also placed within the masthead. The masthead is often set into a block of black or red print or boxed with a border; the Red-tops (The Sun, The Mirror, The News of the World) are categorized by style and the use of a red background in the masthead. Menu/Index: the list of contents inside the paper. Shows where things can be found in the newspaper
