Other High school newspapers

  1. My favorite newspaper front page is the first one from Northwest passage High school because it looks most like a yearbook. It seems more inviting and interesting to look at especially because of the graphs on the front page and how relatable that photo is of a girl stressed out because of homework. 
  2. Again the one from Northwest passage immediately grabbed my attention because it didn't look like a traditional front page of a newspaper. It had fun graphics and looked almost like a yearbook cover. I have never seen a newspaper that looked so fun and interesting so it grabbed my attention. 
  3. My favorite headline would have to be the only headline on the front page, The homework Headache. It's interesting because of how relatable it is and I want to know if this story will give any tips about how to prevent getting such stress from homework.  
  4. No stories on the front page, just a table of contents, a main headline, graphics, and a giant picture. 
  5. All newspapers include at least one big photo on their front cover and a headline addressing the big story in their paper. Most of them include a main story with small text and then multiple other stories. 
  6. There were a lot more that the front page was just a photo with a headline. There was no real story on the front just a label that pointed the reader to where in the newspaper the story was. 
  7. I think the high school newspapers had a lot more magazine like covers where as the ones around the world had the more traditional look of a few pictures, one big headline, and lots of stories and subheads on their front page.
