The present invention supports such advanced features as arrangement of the content of the newspaper according to relationships within the information of the content and/or according to the preference(s) of the user by analyzing the newspaper page as a plurality of objects. Each newspaper object may optionally be a title, an article, a picture and/or other graphic advertisement, and so forth.
