Front Pages of the World

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

My favorite front page his Asahi Shimbun from Tokyo, Japan. It's my favorite because it looks nothing like the other ones. Since Japanese reads down, the layout of the newspaper had to altered to fit the type of language the newspaper is in. It real catches the eye.

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

Although the headline isn't in english, I can still get a feeling about what the article is about from the photos. The article is about a plane crash that occurred near a highway. The photos are so crazy and surreal that I would totally read if I got the chance.

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

Four 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.

The titles of story are very large and the actual text of the stories are in really fine print. They all have the date, and name of the city/town the paper is from. They all have at least one photo on the font that is the attention getter of the newspaper.

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.

Austin American Statesman makes their first headline in bold what the others make their headlines the same as the other ones. Some other papers list the categories of stories on the front page to show the reader what's inside. A lot of newspapers have different font for their headiness and/or their title.
