Page(s) of the day

I haven't been keeping up with my promise to myself to feature a page a day from the region, maybe April will be my lucky month or something. In any case, in a feeble attempt to make up for my slacking, today I bring you two pages!


















The first is a nice treatment by the Knoxville (Tenn.) News-Sentinel. There's a lot of faces on this page, but hierarchy and color help keep your interest. My only nitpick--the centerpiece photos are too similar.

The second is from the Lake Charles (La.) American Press. They aren't on the Newseum very often, but today was a good day to send. The typography on the picnic story is elegant, and coupled with the cutout of the tree, a static photo becomes inticing. Nice work all around.
