Again, I think it's trashy to surround a good article like the one on Johnny Mathis being here had been planned by Oscar Feliu. It is surrounded at the top right and left with ads that look like a ransom note (see screenshot below).

Then after the end of the same article, a good article about Michigan State University Alumni group here (helping middle schools with grants) is buried, surrounded above and below with mug shots and lurid article titles. (See second screenshot below.)

.
I must be missing it. Which article is lurid or salacious?
(of writing, pictures, or talk) treating sexual matters in an indecent way and typically conveying undue interest in or enjoyment of the subject.
You don't want the paper to show you what the arrested people look like?
The space on each side is sold to advertisers to make money. That's why you get it for free. How much would you pay for it without the ads?
