Their news coverage【B7】______a lot of comment and persuasive language; the information content is rather low, and instruction is very【B8】______.

This means that popular newspapers are easier for a native speaker to understand, though probably not for a non-native speaker.【B10】______Popular papers are generally smaller with fewer columns per page. They have bigger headlines and more photographs. There is a greater variety of typeface and printed symbols. The articles are shorter and there are fewer per page.【B11】______Large headlines, pictures and position on the page all serve to draw the reader’s attention to one article rather than another.
