In The Graduate, why has Rocwell chosen to place his subject in front of a newspaper?
-I believe Rockwell put the graduate in front of the newspaper because after graduation you no longer have adults to look out for you. You are on your own to face the real world.
To what extent are the headlines of the paper relevant?
-Even though the headlines are not up to date upon what is happening in the US, they do seem to have similar problems.
What is Rockwell suggesting through the young man's posture and attitude?
-I see confusion and clueless. Like if the young man has no idea that all this could be happening.

I like the point you made about "no adults to look after you" after graduating. I saw in the boy that not only was he clueless, as you said, but he looked so surprised, like all the things he read about couldn't possibly come true. Most high schoolers are very protected and sheltered by their parents, and he seems to be a mimic of that.
