Intro to news paper design

Daily NewsLos Angeles, Calif. This is my favorite blog because it has very interesting stories.

CA_DN.jpg
This paper is from Los angelas california. 

Three stories are on the front page of this paper. 

My favorite story is "desperate parents turn to medical pot". This story interest me because most parents would turn to medical pot for their last option. 

Each story has a interesting headline and picture and a lot of sources. 

Neither of the stories are from the same locations or have to do with the same activity
