The New York Times stayed with the broadsheet full page set-up, as some others have changed into a tabloid lay-out, and an eight-column format for several years, after most papers switched to six,and was one of the last newspapers to adopt color photography, especially on the front page.

For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves,

and the better the teacher, the better the student body.
