Through the exploration of various Floridian newspapers' front pages, I noticed that the Ocala Star Banner and the Orlando Sentinel had a different number of images. The Ocala Star Banner has five photos, while the Orlando Sentinel has eight not including the advertisement. The Orlando Sentinel even has photographs of two people related to a murder case detailed in a portion of an article on the left side of the front page. By including images of the victim, "Pamela Cahanes" and her murderer "Lewis Garner" who was identified as a suspect to the crime "34 years later with DNA" evidence, the newspaper proves its legitimacy to readers. This is because the inclusion of their photos implies that the newspaper did substantial research on the subject to provide relevant images, so people are more likely to trust and buy the paper. Due to the negative effects of the sufficient inclusion of photographs in a newspaper's front page, the Ocala Star Banner does not effectively make use of their front page to persuade their audience to have faith in the veracity of their news and continue to purchase their paper.
