WHY DON'T THEY use the pages cronologically for their stories and then put everything in consecutive page orders?

Editors want the first few pages to give an overview of what's news on any given day, so they start most of the really important stories up front. So that there is room up front for the other important stories, the stories are continued in back pages of the same section. If all the front was a couple or three main stories, people would read just those and then put the paper aside. By continuing stories, the editors ensure that readers see stories and advertising that is dispersed throughout the paper, instead of just what's up front. (This allows each page to be of value in generating income for the paper itself and for those who pay to advertise in it.)

Mainly because the advertisers pay for spots on the "retail section of the page". Meaning the companies are shelling out big bucks to have their spot on say, page 5. The paper is then sent to the composition department. When that department gets the stories from the reporters, Associated Press, wherever, then they set the stories. The AP has a say in where their stories go. So, after setting one story for the AP (etc), the composition department has to figure out where the rest of the story can fit while taking note of the local stories-so there are no "white areas" within the body of the newspaper itself. Kinda like a gigantic puzzle.

Usually the "Top Stories" are also the longest stories. If they were arranged in your order, then only 2 or maybe 3 stories would fit on the front page. But they put just the beginnings of many stories on the front page, so at a glance you can see all of the top stories.

They're done in order of importance and relevance to the market the newspaper serves. A story about a shooting in Rio would be on the first page of the local paper but would probably be further back in a newspaper in another area due to its lack of relevance to the readers of that area

They want to give you the key headlines on the front and back pages, and then through those stories they want you to travel all other pages other than specially earmarked such as sports, business, entertainment and the like.

They do that so as you're flipping to page 7 you might see something on page 4 that maybe you wouldn't flip to if it wasn't continued on page 7.

They want to put as many different stories as close to the front as possible.
