Research Skills

Today we had a research induction to the 'aucb' database's. So basically it was a run through on how best to research, with regards to our essay and then we surfed through to see what could help. The database's were actually quite vast!
I latched on to 'The Times' newspaper database and it was surreal in a way. Looking back at all the newspapers from the early 1800's and seeing that the style of the articles haven't really changed! So that made me wonder whether newspapers are keeping true to a formula from the past and the type has to fit into that?
Are newspapers an exception to the rules of typography? or do they have their own?......
