As a ex-sub-editor in a chinese newspaper, I can easily tell you that sometimes editors decided not use a longer phrase to make the article fit into the layout perfectly. If an article is too short, we can add (or enlarge) related pictures or even make the captions longer to fill in space. However, if the article is too long, and cannot be shrunken anymore, it would gives editors tons of headache... especially some certain pieces of articles cannot be published without pictures (E.g. Major headline news on each section).
Criticizing is easy while one don't know jack ****. |
