In these context, I think it refers to some kind of journal or pamphlet describing daily news and events.

A dogwatch seems like a daily rendition of the most exciting and shocking news. Perhaps it contains some gossip and pictures that are considered improper.

A dogwatch, according to dictionary.com is slang for “the period, after regular editions of a newspaper have gone to press, during which staff personnel remain on duty to away any new developments that may warrant an extra issue,” so Faulkner’s “diurnal dogwatch” could refer to one of these extra issues.
I also think it’s worthwhile to mention that watchdog journalism refers to a form of journalism aimed at identifying societal problems.

A dogwatch looks to be almost a tabloid form of news, one where the stories are based on gossip and probably indulge in things that are not exactly factual. It appears to be an entertainment form of reading.

A dogwatch provides instant information about their local organizations and overall society. This involves news that is highly demanded with factual statements from public officials to confirm a story.

In the context of the story the “diurnal dogwatches” seem to be brief daily newspapers or releases and perhaps the different colors/editions represent different types of news (e.g finance, world, sports,etc).

A style that uses ejaculations intends to create short writings that tell a story thus engaging the readers interest without dragging on the story,

I would imagine a dogwatch is like a tabloid filled with sensational journalism, as evidenced by the combination of different colours, pictures, and crowded type.

A dogwatch seems to refer to a type of newspaper, delivering current events through eye-opening headlines and a lot of pictures.

A dogwatch is the news that wasn’t reported on the regular channels, instead it was caught while the dog was watching.

A dogwatch is an daily newspaper/magazine publication with flashy images and designs to catch someone’s eye. Not as highly regarded as a standard newspaper.

I would say that a style that uses ejaculations would be very explicit and attention grabbing. I would assume the style entails really provocative headlines and short blurbs that would entice an audience to read on.

I would say that a style that uses ejaculations is probably focused on sensational phrases and words to grab the attention of a passing glance.

Ejaculations is straight to the point. They gravitate to an audience that wants immediate answers. It attracts their attention, which can boost viewership to their respective website. They don’t provide enough valuable information to educate readers on a certain issue or story.

A style that describes multiple actions with not too many wordings. I believe comic books use this type of style. The style also allows the reader to imagine beyond just the meaning, but play the action in the mind.

Styles that use ejaculations would consist of attention-grabbing action-packed words like “STOP” or “BUY NOW,” perhaps with a heavy handed use of capital letters and exclamation points.

A style that uses ejaculations are timely, attention seeking wordplay that stimulates the reader.

A style that utilizes ejaculations, is in your face and quick read style. Your attention is grabbed, and the information that the writer wants you to know is given easily. It could be used in short read articles, or as a tactic within longer pieces, to depict the moment it is covering.

Just for clarification, if the paper is in the driver’s seat but the driver I presume is sitting there, is the paper simply on the driver’s lap?

But to answer your question, to be in the driver’s seat means to be in control of something so I assume that the headlines on this paper is what is guiding society forward at the time, it’s representative of the era perhaps. However, I also noticed that the newspaper is folded which means it’s unread.

For the paper to be in the driver’s seat means that the driver’s seat is currently vacant, which means the car is probably not in motion, and perhaps might even be empty. For a tabloid to be sitting in the driver’s seat must mean that someone must have put it there, maybe as a reminder in order to read it in the future.

The driver is a very vital part to the vehicle, without him the car won’t move. Similarly, the dogwatch might be something important, which like the driver will put the story in motion. The paper is about aviation and features Colonel Feinman, who made the airport which will be a big setting in the story. The driver’s seat might also symbolize control, and power.

Faulkner places the paper in the driver’s seat to signify that news should be readily accessible. But I also think that the positioning of the paper shows that the news starting to take precedence in that time period.

I believe that Faulkner expressed that the paper was in the drivers seat to show meaning of control, possibly the control that the media has taken over his life. Either someone chose to leave it there, or symbolically the paper needed to be in Faulkner’s view.

I think it’s as a sense of control. The driver is in control of where he’s headed in the future, and the paper has similar control of where the future is headed, that is to say what is or is not covered by the media can directly or indirectly affect what’s going on in the world.
