Halftone / Newsprint (1970s–1980s)

A British newspaper front page from the 1970s or 1980s — freshly printed, white or very pale grey paper, before colour photography became standard. The defining visual signature is exaggerated halftone dot screens: photos resolve into large visible blobs of black ink, losing detail but gaining graphic punch. Two variants: red-top tabloid (The Sun, Daily Mirror) with a bold red masthead banner and screaming condensed headline; or broadsheet (The Guardian, The Times) with a more formal column grid and restrained typography. Pre-digital, pre-colour, pure black ink on white.

Specify which variant — "red-top tabloid with red masthead banner" or "broadsheet with formal column grid" — to avoid a generic hybrid
