Re: "Where should my eyes go?"

I find that I can skim more easily with a few images that provide additional visual cues other than those of textual information. Pictures require a different visual focus, and might allow me to focus on the "bigger picture" (e.g. whether it is coming from WSJ), or "smaller picture" (i.e. more specific examples).

Additionally, I like that you can mix the sources together, with not too much of anything; instead emphasising a more holistic view.



Yes, you can skim more easily with images, but those images are leading your eyes to what? The best articles or just a random article with images? I say it's the second one.

I'd argue title words are much better at showcasing an articles potential value than a stock image of a carrot.


great point about the sources.
