Front Pages of the World

1. my favorite news page is Sitka, Alaska because it looks very organized and you don't have to wonder what story goes with what.

2. FBI releases photos of 2 bomb suspects. It interests me because of the resent bombings and I'm wondering if it has something to do with that or if there was a bombing in Sitka.

3. There are 6 stories on the front page.

4. I noticed that a lot of the front pages have 2 to 3 photos and have 3 to 5 stories on them. The headlines are definitely bigger than the story fonts. There is normally 1 big photo to show a big event.

5. The fonts are different and where they position the photos and stories. Also the photos have a different size.
