Newspaper Layout

Front Pages of the World

1. My Favorite Newspaper front page is "El Pais" from Madrid, Spain because it is very nice and neat. It's title is bold, it's paragraphs are neatly organized, and it is well decided into sections that make the front page even more appealing to me.

2."Andalucia garantizara tres comidas al dia a los escolares mas pobres" I like that headline because the news story it leads to is nice. It translates to: "Andalucia guarantees three meals a day for the poorest scholars". As I said, It is sweet news that this headlines leads to, and I like to read about those things.

3.Seven

4. Most (I would say all) newspapers I saw have a title with big bold letters that stand out. All have pictures and more than one story.

5. In some newspapers, the fonts are more creative than in other simpler ones. Also, some newspapers have fewer stories than others, and another big difference I noticed is that some newspapers have a lot of tiny font (parts of the stories) and other newspapers just have headlines and no beginnings to stories inside the newspaper.
