A plague of subheads

This was good! I have to admit that I've been falling prey to using subheads as an editor. As a reader, I always skip subheads but as an layout person I like the look of the divisions on the page.

Much has been made of the dumbing-down of newspapers and magazines in this age of computers and television, writes journalist Jim Walsh, but the main thing that gets his goat is the mass encroachment of subheads on the written word. As he says,  "I've worked in this business long enough to remember a time when subheads didn't exist. These days, editors are so freaked about losing readers and so worried about how little time people spend with newspapers that they've gone subhead nutty."
