I loved the picture on the front page today because of the colors, composition, and depiction of the story that it represented. The description below the picture said that there were 47,438 starters, and this picture gives a good idea of the scene of the marathon. This picture intrigued me to turn to the special NYC Marathon 2011 section of the paper, where I learned much more than I had previously known about the marathon. Until I read the article about the winner of the marathon, I was unaware that the winners receive prize money for breaking records and winning, I thought that this race was about prestige alone.
Back on the front page though, I was interested to learn that Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou plans to resign from his position. This has been a topic that I have been following, but not as closely as I would like to. I liked that this story began with a summary lead and did not hold the important information until later in the story, because it was written to provide basic facts to readers about an important ongoing topic.
