Front Pages of the World

1. What is your favorite newspaper front page? Why?

Interestingly, I was most attracted to the cover of "China Daily" from Bejing. The cover they showed was in English. I really liked the visual that was presented and the way it was organized, simple but still eye-catching, and neither sparse nor overwhelming.

2. What is your favorite headline from that newspaper? Why are you interested in it?

I was most interested in "Running the World", a story apparently about how fitness focused Chinese people are more interested in taking selfies while running marathons than actually running. I would most definitely read that article. The visual they paired with the article was also quite visually appealing, and tied in with the headline, depicting an illistration of people running around a literal globe.

3. How many stories are on the front page of your favorite?

3 stories.

4. What do you notice that all newspaper front pages have in common? Look at design, size of photos, size of story text, etc.All headlines are relatively big with the text of the article being much smaller, obviously. They all had visual aspects to accompany their articles, though size and amount of pictures varied. Almost all of them included 2 to 3 stories on their front page.

5. What are things that vary (or are different) on the front pages of different newspapers? Look at design, size of photos, size of headlines, etc.

The New York Post had the most different cover, as they just do one huge picture accompanied by a headline instead of putting stories on the front page. Like I mentioned before, size of pictures and amount of visual aspects varied from paper to paper. For example, the newspaper from Prague had a large picture that acted as almost a centerpiece for the front page. Fonts also varied.
