Front Pages of the World

My favorite newspaper was Times Union from New York because it has serious and funny information in the front page.

The headline is the "Suspects in plain view" making me interested on who were the individuals that put the bombs in the marathon in Boston.

It has 12 stories.

Size of headlines are the same and the news are written vertically keeping a pattern.

The size of the photos and colors are different in each headline.
