- The front of the New York Times looks very cluttered. It hurts my eyes. I don't know where to look first, the page is so busy and distracting.
- There's a lot of different text sizes on the front page.
- The front page format is not really organized by subject matter. It would be hard to read articles that I am interested in.
- I never would have thought that the front page is linked to different techniques of modern science and art.
- Overlayered front cover... they do this to show human potentialities.
- I read this article in print and I had to flip the pages.
- I read this article in the library with my headphones in listening to music.
- I read this article intently.
- I liked that there were questions at the top for me to think about before I had to read the topic.
- Shows "complexity and similarity of human affairs ... tending to abolish any provincial outlook."
- The front page really doesn't focus on local/national political opinion. The article topics are kind of scattered.
- The press is pushing their attitudes onto the reader of what they deem important.
Summary: I read this article in the library with my headphones on as I listened to music. This article was in print and I flipped the pages to read the article. I read intently and could read the article without a problem, though before I read the article I noticed that the front page was noisy and distracting with a lot of articles that didn't really match up together in terms of categories and subject matter.
- I read this article in print.
- The mechanics are flipping the pages.
- I read this article in the library with my headphones in, listening to music.
- The first thing that caught my attention was the picture on the front of the article.
- Interesting title. It makes me want to read more.
- The small text makes me not want to read it. I wish the article was shorter and summarized everything without having a lot of pages to read.
- I'm skimming and just flipping the pages.
- The picture on the second page catches my attention. It looks more appealing than the small words that seem plump with words that don't really interest me. The feature lets me see information about a scientist.
- I like that they use bold print to break up the reading, in an attempt to keep readers to keep reading this long article. The bold titles of each part makes it easier to skim and get the gist of it.
- So, there are a lot of ads on p.114 of the magazine... on both sides of the text, really annoying and distracting. Especially because it doesn't relate to the article's topic at all.
- p.115 there's a picture talking about Shakespeare...is it really relatable and meaningful to the story and for the readers? Is it an ad?
- p.116. There's a lot of ads on both sides again... distracting. There's also a big chunk of the article on here. A lot of words that aren't broken up or spaced out much= this makes me not want to continue reading.
- p.117 is just an ad... this would probably cause readers to lose focus because they were expecting to read an article, not have ads on every page being shoved at them.
- p.118- there's barely any article content on this page, just ads on both sides of the article. Surprising? Not anymore. I'm losing a lot of interest in wanting to read this article now.
- p.119-120. WOW so many ads... there's no article content on either of these pages.
- p.121- more ads along each side of the article. My focus isn't really here anymore. I think there is potential to forget what you were reading when you have so many ads separating you from what you read and the rest of the article.
- p.122- another full page ad.
- p.123-124- they have the rest of the article, but of course they have ads on both side of the article again.
- This was super hard to read. Having ads frame the article or take over so many pages in the article was annoying and it was hard to focus. I feel like they could have broken it up more if they didn't have the ads in the way. It would have been easier to read that way.
Summary: I read this article in the library with my headphones on listening to music. I read this article in print and flipped the pages to look at more of the article. The text was really small that it was hard to read and focus. It didn't look super appealing. Once I hit all of the ads, I started to skim and just flip pages because there was so many ads. Some of the ads would cut off the article entirely and take up pages between the article. It was really distracting and made it hard to want to read the rest of the article, though there were bold statements within the article that helped me get the gist of the subject matter.
Link to the Article
- I read this article online via screen and not paper.
- I read this article in the library with my headphones in, playing some music.
- The picture for the article really got my attention and related to the article title. This made me more excited to read it.
- I like the font size.
- The different links that are on the right side of the screen are kind of distracting because the main background of the site is white and the color from the link images are bright in color and really stick out to me.
- The picture within the article really helps break up the text.
- They have a link and a picture to another story as an ad within this article. That's kind of distracting. It makes me think I should read that article instead of the current one.
- The article includes the same picture that is used at the beginning of the article. Kind of repetitive, but I like that the picture breaks up the text. It allows me to read easier.
- At the beginning I read everything, but towards the middle and end of the article I started to skim.
- I like that the article has important information in a bigger text size and color so I can see important information quicker without having to read the whole article if I don't want to.
Summary: I read this article in the library while I listened to music. I read this article online, so I just had to scroll to read more. I really didn't have many distractions, except for a few on the right side of the article where they were showing other articles on the site that I should read. There was also an ad for another article on the site within the article that I was suppose to read, but compared to the article in Life magazine it wasn't anything that I couldn't skim past. I really liked how there were images within the article, as that helped break up the text and keep me focused.
