Newseum Paper Review

After viewing several front page stories of United States Newspapers, I decided to make a report on The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, and Denver Post. All three papers displayed great similarities in the content posted. Each paper highlighted issues involving Trump's State of the Union Address, the United States' Government involvement in Venezuela, and the ongoing teacher strike.


If we analyze each individual paper, they had their own distinctive stories. The Los Angeles Times included an article discussing Terry Bryant, a man who was accused of stealing the Oscar Award of Frances McDormand.

In the New York Times front page, there was an article dedicated to the controversy of gene editing. Many scientists and ethics boards are trying to develop safety rules to prevent the unnatural reproduction of babies by altering embryos.

The Denver Post brought light to oil and mining issues taking place in Colorado. Anti- Fracking organizations such as the Colorado Rising are filing lawsuits against oil operators who are extracting oil and minerals in an unconstitutional manner.

By looking at the front page of national papers I found that most major cities will highlight similar topics while bringing exposure to other issues in their states respectively. It is a matter of catering to the public interest as well as keeping the community informed of issues both nationally and locally.
