Here is a scan of a page from the Asahi Shimbun: http://www.mudaijp.com/wp/wp-content...008/09/056.jpg

Notice that there are no furigana at all. This is just a regular newspaper in Japan. Imagine what something not written for general readership would be like.
What are those red lines for?

Also is it my bad memory or should the 朝 in 朝日新聞 have longer lines than shown in that image?
