17. A media material analyzer for analyzing data representative of media material having a layout, comprising: a segmenter that identifies block segments associated with columnar body text in the media material; and an article composer that determines which of the identified block segments belong to one or more articles in the media material based on language statistics information and layout transition information, wherein the data representative of media material comprises pixel data of an image of the media material, and the segmenter analyzes the pixel data to identify regions having similar pixel value change complexity, wherein the data representative of media material further includes text data representing text in the media material, and the segmenter associates the text data with corresponding image regions identified as having similar pixel value change complexity (PVCC) based on the location of the text data and the corresponding regions in the media material, and wherein the segmenter maps words found in the text data to an initial set of the corresponding image regions identified as having similar pixel value change complexity, and adjusts the initial set of image regions to obtain a final set of image regions based on the distribution of mapped words.
