Front pages of the world

1. My favorite newspaper front page is from New York called The Buffalo News, because the news stories on it are the most interesting to me and it's one of the ones where they write about the Grammy's from last night.
2. My favorite headline from this front is the "Mini brains show promise in research"one because when is saw Mini brains it was something that came to me and popped in my mind that it could be a very interesting story.
3. 3 are on the front that are my favorite.
4.  All the news papers have a main picture and a main story with little pictures and captions around it.
5.  Some of the papers have big pictures and small captions explaining them while others have smaller pictures and larger stories about them.
