I agree. We need well-sized, interesting images (not thumbnails), and
I would also say we need interesting cutlines (captions). In
newspapers, cutlines are the second most-read items after the
headlines, because people's eyes naturally gravitate to images.
They're often a neglected feature of our articles.
