1.Visual Layout
The picture at the top of the story takes up a lot of space, but it doesn’t give any relevant information. Readers need to scroll down to see the text below. However, there is no information to explain the identity of the people in the pictures, which can make reading confusing.
Suggestion: Give relevant information about the top picture and reduce the size of the image at the beginning.
Visual layout issues also arise when ad is placed between photos and related text messages, creating a split in reading.
Suggestion: put the ad after the related text messages.

The news provides data: “Russia’s economy is currently on a war footing. Roughly 40% of its federal budget is being spent on defence and internal security. ” However，the source of the data was not mentioned.
Suggestion：Provide the source to Make the information more persuasive.
