NEW STYLE OF NEWSPAPER
DICTION

Americans are becoming more and
more habituated to scanning their
newspapers. 1t is not necessarily be-
cause they read specifically with
their minds, but because they read
quickly with their eyes. All the
American devices of heads which
summarize the news, and sub-heads
of the story that follows, are cal
culated both to cater to this habit
and increase it,
The growing tendency among even
ing newspapers in America of telling
practically all the salient points of the
more important stories in headlines
is an effort, evolutionary rather than
scientific, to meet this condition.
Plainly, however, there is a limit to
the availability solely of headlines.
ing room on the front page for an
abundance of heads is not successful,
because superabundance of heads
tends to throw all the news down to a
general bewildering level of typo
graphical value or lack of value. In a
measure it works against the very
habit of scanning which the American
reader has cultivated.
newspaper composed in vers libre
certainly would look odd, and most
assuredly would be weird to read. But
it is also certain that a newspaper
page with lots of open space in its
news lines would be wonderfully easy
for business men to read in their
trains and motors on their hurried
way to business; and it is equally GER
tain that a news story, told thruout
in what practically are headlines set
in body type, would be the most terse,
lucid. and sharp way of telling many
OF those news events whose whole i'm
portance lies in certain few outstand-
ing facts.
Such a narrative style would be on
ly high development of the present
newspaper style. 1t would demand
reporting brought u an extreme of
efficiency. 1t would, of course, de-
mand newspaper diction utterly diff
ferent from all existing forms of
literary eXpression--but why should
the American newspaper be at all like
periodicals or other printed forms of
publicity?
Even the tyro in printing knows
that no reader reads the type letters
that form word. The slowest read
er's eye sees the word as a whole.
Those who read more swiftly see a
whole sentence at a glance. 1t is,
after all. as picture writing that type
must be considered. Why, then, ham
per a news story by single unneces-
sary word, if that word is introduced
merely for the purpose of forming
conventional diction?
