Most front pages of newspapers displayed colorful pictures of people celebrating, smiling, and showing pride. A few newspapers, though, briefly mention this groundbreaking ruling on the front page.
Notice how, on the front page of the Saturday Gazette-Mail, there's a colorful, eye-catching photo that takes up the majority of the top half (above the fold) of the front page. The headline to this particular story, "'History-changing moment'" is large, easy to read from afar (eye-catching), and in all capital letters at the top of the page. This shows how important this particular publishing thinks this story is to its readers, especially in comparison to other stories of the day.
Alternatively, the front page of The Wall Street Journal has the main focus as a photo of a crime scene. Though the Supreme Court ruling is still towards the top with a bold title, it does not have any accompanying photos. [175 words, 1 link, 2 images, 1 quotation]
