Question Title

* 5. How should we handle the news content and ads that sometimes wrap around our front page?

Ensure that all the content on the wrap-around pages is advertising, not news.

Use the left-over pages at the back of the ad to continue the news report in the A section.

Use the left-over space at the back of the ad for extra content, not related to the rest of the A section.
