What is meant by cropping?

(A) Editing a news item

(B) Adjusting box items

(C) Cutting the size of the photo

(D) Reducing the columns

Correct Ans: (B)

Explanation:

In the context of newspaper design and layout, cropping involves adjusting box items, particularly images or photographs, to fit a specific space or layout. The process trims or resizes parts of the image to ensure it aligns properly within the designated area in the publication. Cropping enhances the visual appeal and ensures that images complement the text and overall design without distorting the original content. While the term commonly refers to photos, it can apply to any visual elements in print media.
