Front Pages if the World



  1. Favorite Newspaper front page: Silver City Sun-News. It's my favorite because the headline and picture worked together so nicely and it really caught my attention.
  2. The paper is from Silver City New Mexico
  3. My favorite headline is "Woman injured in drive-by", not because of the story is summarizes, but for the attention grabbing aspect of it. 
  4. The story of the woman injured in the drive by, works because it contrasts with the happy violinist.
  5. All the newspapers have a bold headline and a big picture on the front page.
  6. The layout of all the newspapers differ.
