Front Pages of the World
1) My favorite newspaper page was the Florida Today, from Melbourne, Florida. I liked this one because unlike a lot of newspapers I saw, the photos on this one are larger, if not equal to the text on the page. I like this because to me, when I see a newspaper where a bunch of stories are on the front page and there's a lot of words, it looks overwhelming and in a way, boring to read. With this newspaper front page, there are short introductions to stories (about 1 inch). This makes me actually want to turn the pages and read more inside.
2) I'm a bit interested in the story with the headline "Residents don't want recycling site nearby". This doesn't seem this interesting at first, but when you think about it, it sort of makes the residents sound a bit selfish and uncaring about the earth. As you read the introduction paragraph however, it tells you that it's not that they are against recycling, they just don't want the recycling plant next to where they live.
3) I counted twelve news stories on the front page, including the weather and a small box with what contains the pages for things like the winning lottery numbers, comics, crosswords, and horoscopes.
4) Every news paper I noticed, has the name of their newspaper at the top as well as a logo if they have one. Underneath the name of the newspaper, there is a primary headline in bold and a photo to match, going all the way across the paper, if not most of the way. Then either to the side, or underneath the the primary story, there are smaller headlines for different stories, some with a small photo. On a lot of the newspapers there was a secondary story. The secondary story's font and picture were bigger than the others, but smaller than the primary stories' picture. Pretty much ever story on the page has an introduction to what the story was about, with the introduction depending on whether it was the primary story or a smaller, not as important story. Every headline was in bold, with the text about the story non-bolded. All of the text on the page, with the exception of some primary headlines and the name of the newspaper, are in a simple, universal font like Times New Roman.
