Based on the ‘survival of media platforms for journalism’ transcript, “i think you'll get everything, virtually everything, through the net. I mean i can't see beyond that, because we know that things are being invented every ten minutes.” (greenslade, 2009).
“The way to sharm el-sheikh”, headline news on page six of the al-ahram newspaper on tuesday portraying an image of hosni mubarak leading the us president barack obama and israel, palestinian and jordanian. The original photo showing hosni mubarak was on the back left. The image was altered positioning mubarak on the front suggesting the president hosni mubarak was leading the middle east talk.
As mentioned by reep (1969 pp. 135) “They create a document that reflects the image you wish readers to have. A conservative law firm may want to project a solid, traditional, no-nonsense image with its documents, whereas a video equipment company may prefer to project a trendy, dramatic image. Both images can be enhanced by specific design features.
The opposition, ‘youth movement’ had accused the al-ahram publication was being completely unprofessional. Immediate discussion at the egyptian red sea resort hosted by president hosni mubarak with hillary clinton, the us secretary of state, and george mitchell, us peace envoy. Al-masry al-youm, an independent daily newspaper also declared a statement that the state-run daily had ‘carried out surgery’ on the altered photo to prove mubarak leading and the rest was following him. Officials at the paper could not be reached for comment.
“Document design refers to the physical appearance of a document. Because the written text and its presentation work together to provide readers with the information they need, think about the design of your documents during the planning stage—even before you select appropriate information and organize it. Reep (1969, pp. 134)
