4. How has the format of news changed over the years?

Fifty years ago, newspapers were printed in black and white; color became commonplace in the 1980s. The New York Times and The Washington Post were among the last major American newspapers to switch to full-color printing. Fifty years ago, "up style" headlines were the norm -- that's also called "title case," in which nearly every word of a headline begins with a capital letter. Now most newspapers use "down style" headlines, which follow the same capitalization rules as the articles do. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal continue to use up style; I'm not aware of any other major American newspaper to continue that, although my small-town weekly does. Fifty years ago, most newspapers were printed with metal type; the offset printing method was just getting started back then.
