Newspaper Introduction

1. I think my favorite newspaper front page out of the ones I saw was from the burlington free press. This is because it is mainly filled with pictures, and overall is very attractive.
2. The most attractive headline out of the few on the front cover is "Hometown Hero" which goes over Bernie sanders win in his own hometown.
3. There are only two stories on the front cover of the burlington free press.
4. Most newspapers have the hottest topics of the day on the front, for example today, almost every newspaper I looked at had something about politics on the front. Newspapers in general seem to have similar style and color palettes.
5. What newspapers do differently first off is their writing, obviously they have different writers and publishers, but its the style of those writers that gives the newspapers different moods and tones. The other thing that commonly differs between newspapers is what they talk about the most, newspapers have to relate to the people so that they will be read, and every part of the world is different, which then reflects on the newspapers.

High School Newspapers:
1. I like the Odyssey Newspaper for multiple reasons. The font and title is very nice and works with the image, and the image itself is sharp, and has some nice depth of field.
2. I thought that Northmen's Log instantly grabbed my interest. This is because it has nice colors that work with the title and the photo overall is very dynamic and attractive.
3. Going back to the Odyssey , I would like to read the section that is labeled "junior finds a new way to play the sport he has always loved.
4. There are only two headlines on the newspaper cover I enjoyed the most.
5. All the High School newspapers have either a student/s on the front cover or the work of a student. The also all enjoy using very bold titles and having more picture than they do words. More like text married to type rather than in a forest of words.
6. The color schemes and topics of all the newspapers are different, I don't think I saw one that was very similar in that aspect. 
7. They also all are not talking about politics or a big subject on every ones mind, its even more local and related to that area than a regular newspaper. The storys and topic all come from the same environment for that newspaper.
