My favorite headline was probably reading and seeing about the blizzard that occurred there a week or two ago.

There are 5 stories on the front page of the newspaper.

All the newspapers have the main topic and then all the little stories on the side or around the main subject.

There dare all different topics and different outlooks on the cover.
