Front Page of The World

Staten Island Advance is my favorite because I like how the stories and pictures are balanced out. Also, I like the set up and amount of stories on this cover. Big brother hiding in your E-ZPass? Is my favorite headline because it grabs my attention. 7 stories are on the front page. THe amount of pictures differ and the way they are set up, on some different newspapers they use one picture to cover the whole paper.
