The Daily Mail - 1960



In this picture of the Daily Mail - 1960, you can see that there is no colour. Furthermore there is no mention on any celebrities. On the front page they have tried putting as many stories on it as possible. The stories what hit the front cover are about a 16 year old bride saves husband from jail, £1,200m rail write off -Taxpayers to take over seats fares will go up and Britain save Red Crew. The stories are written in depth and are very heavy filled with information on the story.

The stories are not so much in depth writers have realised that it bores the reader and makes them not to stop reading the article.
