How about the style of writing in Newspapers like Die Son aaargh! by snooples

Sure, it's for a particular market - probably written with the thought in mind that you're speaking their language - but come on! It's demeaning and condescending!
you can publish interesting gut wrenching stories stories with a little more class. The style in which the newspaper is written further imprints the negative image of the target market in question.

As for the pictures/ visuals - Newspapers such as the Argus have been doing well for years without being as crude.
