Don't make your readers play connect the dots in order to figure out where it begins and ends. Also, make sure you don't overcrowd the page with too much text. In our example, we didn't have a lot of text to work with, so overcrowding wasn't a problem. Sometimes, however, the reporter might get carried away. Once you've finished laying out the page, it's time to add the finishing touches.
Every photo needs a caption or cutline to describe what it's about.
Two photos can share a caption, but be sure to explain which description belongs to which photo. Good placement for a caption, as shown in Figure D, is flush along the photo it's describing and outside of the body text, as to not get confused with the main text. Another detail to remember is to credit the photos properly. If the photos are all by the same person, you can run one credit line along the edge of the page or include the photographer's name after the reporter's byline. If various people took the photos, include a credit line beside each corresponding photo.
