a)  subhead — "The Role of a New Player" and "The Role Here" are subheads.  Subheads are often centered in their column, but these are left justified.

b)  logo — "Test Your Knowledge" is the logo for numerous quizzes that will appear in various sections of The Town Voice.

c)  dateline — "Richmond 2012  — " is the dateline.  Most datelines don't really have a date.  In days long gone when information traveled much slower an article written in San Diego appearing in a Chicago newspaper would begin with the city, San Diego, and the date.  If the date is the same as the rest of the newsaper it is ommitted.  So these days "datelines" rarely have dates.

d)  byline — "by Arlon Staywell" is the byline.

e)  folio — "Page A1" is a folio.  If you picked "A Forum for Voters" or ""Here and Beyond" those answers aren't entirely wrong, but many would consider those part of the flag.

f)  flag — The giant title, "The Town Voice," is the flag.

g)  deck — "Art is News" is a deck and decks are like additional headlines.  They usually follow the headline, but this one is an "upper" deck.  Very earlier newspapers might have several decks of various type sizes for one story.

h)  jumpline — "See MISSION STATEMENT, page A2" is the closest thing to a jumpline here.  Most jumplines rather than suggesting other reading indicate where an article continues to or from.  Room is made on the front pages by continuing longer articles on pages further back.

i)  index — "The Town Voice Index" is clearly marked as such.  If you missed this one wear a dunce cap.

    2)  ANSWER

The Town Voice is formatted like many papers from the early 50s, a time of considerable happiness for many Americans.  While that might seem too far before the triumphant civil rights legislation of the 60s, it should be remembered that much of that work began in the early 50s with Brown v. The Board of Education and all the work that had to come before that to make it successful.
