Other High School Newspapers

1. My favorite newspaper front page is The Globe's Skyline Issue from Clayton, MO. I really liked this one because of the name, and picture they used. 
2. This one immediately grabbed my attention because I saw the red trees which I'm obsessed with.  
3. My favorite headline was A Lifetime Of Laughter because the story was about two woman who have been friends for almost seventy years.
4. Most of these newspapers had the huge photo that took over the majority of the front page. 
5. These high school newspapers definitely have less print on the front than the other newspapers. 
6. I think these were actually very different from the ones before. Maybe these are more visually appealing to teenagers.

Newspaper Intro

1. My favorite newspaper front page was the REDEYE newspaper from Chicago, Illinois. I picked this one because I like how one picture covers the entire page, making you have to physically pick up the newspaper and open it to find out any of the stories. 
2. My favorite headlines the main one, the theory of winning, because it is referencing the movie Eddie Redmayne won for, which I think is cool.
3. In this particular one, there are no stories, just previews of what the inside will show. 
4. Most of the newspapers have a headline, a dominant photo, and then lots of print around the photo. This specific one that I picked was  a bit different, but most of them were the same. 
5. Some of the newspapers have the dominant photo in the center, while others have it on one of the sides with all of the print on the opposite side.
