Boston Herald vs. Metro - Boston Edition

Although both of these articles have bright and colorful pages, they differ in the way that they capture the attention of their audience. Boston Herald uses headings with the words "Sorry Liz!" and "Artful Dodge" to gain people's interest. The newspaper also uses a large font for both of those headings, making the words visible from far away. Most of the front page is filled with a picture of three candidates running for the 2020 election. 

While Metro - Boston Edition  also has a colorful front page, it is a lot busier than that of Boston Herald, making it harder to focus on one certain aspect of the front page. One third of the front page is taken up by the name of the newspaper, another third is filled with the actual news, and the last third is filled with ads. With so much going on at one time, it is challenging for the reader to differentiate between ads and actual news.
