Front Pages of the World

MA_PL.jpgMy favorite newspaper front page was in Boston, Massachusetts because it's a current event and the face they have suspects for the bombing that happened. My favorite headline on this front page is Photos of suspects evoke painful memories" because its saying that since they've found suspects that it's bringing emotions to those who were at the Marathon at timing of the bombing. There are two different stories on the front page. The things I notice that all newspaper front pages have is they have the main story in big bold letters, and they have a enlarged picture to go with the main story, also they have two or three little stories on the bottom or side of the main story to catch attention to the audience. The differences I see is that not all newspaper front pages are layer out the same, and of course not all have the same font page story.
