One time, we had just returned from Devon and threw the local (Teignmouth) newspaper on the table next to the local London one.
front page headlines in the london newspaper was 'Man stabbed in underpass' front page headlines in the Devon newspaper was 'Plant pot broken at old folks home'

There is a heck of a difference, isn't there?
My favourite headline was: "Nasty accident nearly caused" ;o))

That's the kind of story I like. ' Covering murders or fatal car crashes? That's... not so good. Yeah, you get the thrill of the headlines, breaking a big story, sometimes, but it's upsetting, too.
