I stumbled upon this Scottsdale Tribune front page while browsing Newseum's Today's Front Pages. The extremely large photograph they chose for the front page reminded me of one of the choices we had for our feature stories assignment. I didn't find either photo to be particularly compelling, especially given the size they chose for this one. The repetition in the photo is nice, and the children certainly seem riveted to their screen, but all one really gets to see is their backs.

I began browsing around Newseum and found a lot of similar pictures of children making the front page. I couldn't help but feel like these were fall back stories, possibly even ones they had in reserve for slow news days. Is a lack of content leading to these boring center pieces? I'm guessing it must either be that or the smaller distribution of these publications. I can't, after all, make the same claims about the larger papers, just the Scottsdale Tribune (above), the Norwich Bulletin, and the South Bend Tribune (below).
