My favorite newspaper trick is that they abruptly end the story when they run out of space - the story was 20 lines long but we've only got 17 lines of space, no one will notice. I think they know that most people read the headlines and the first few paragraphs, the rest is just filler - might as well be lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.
