Why don't the newspapers follow punctuation and grammar rules?

I took eng 101 and i studied the grammar and the puntuaction but when i read the newspaper they dont follow these rules. For example i read in the neswpaper this : the blah blah. and after the period the other sentence started like this And , and what i studied is that and is a connector and the comma is always before not after this connector so im confused i mean is there a logical explanation for this or the newspapers write however they want. Tellme please thank you.

Why the funadvice persons dont follow Puntuaction and grammar rules?

Answer #2

Newspapers rarely follow the rules of grammar, especially with their headlines… I guess there is a certain writing style or way of reporting the news that needs to be interesting enough for people to read. Just like commercials, any marketing copy you read - it’s full of grammatical errors, oxymorons, redundancies like “FREE BONUS GIFT.”

I guess they don’t follow rules because they don’t have to and because they need to get peoples’ attention.
