Front Pages of the world

1. My favorite newspaper front page is the one from St. Croix, US Virgin Islands because some of the things they was talking about was interesting and because that is where I'm from as well.

2. My favorite headline from that page was "video could be key to finding Boston bomber". I'm interested in finding out who the bomber was and why would he do something like that.

3. There are five stories on the front page of my favorite newspaper.

4. The things that they all have in common is that they all have pictures, they don't have no more then five stories, their captions texts are bigger then the actual text itself, their text is all the same size,  and they all talk about the weather that day.

5. The things that are different is that some photos on newspapers are bigger then other pictures on other newspapers, some have coupons and others don't, and the head title are bigger then others.
