Front Pages of the World!

1. My favorite newspaper front page was The Journal Gazette from Fort Wayne, Indiana. I like this front page because it shows things that are happening all over the country and really focuses on those things.

2. My favorite headline is "Hunt for bombers focusing on 2 men" because I'm from the east corner of connecticut and boston is really close to there. So I like to know whats going on with that incident.

3. There are 4 stories on this paper.

4. One thing that they all have in common is the font size of the name of the newspaper. Also the first story isn't the biggest its usually a smaller size one.

5. The way the newspaper is set up is really different. Some newspapers have fewer stories and more pictures. Others have fewer pictures and more stories. Another thing that differs is the size of the headlines, the first story on the front page usually has a bigger headline. But some of the ones that i looked at didn't have big headlines for the top story they had smaller ones and then the next top story had a big headline.
