Update
We're adding two more newspapers - South Africa's City Press and the largest newspaper in the English speaking world, India's Times of India.
The most read article in the Times of India at the moment is: Extra-Marital Affairs Are Good For Marriage!
And in South Africa's City Press it's: Tycoon's Super Sweet R700 000 Bash.
There is nothing remarkable in the news today - at least as ranked by the majority of the people. However, this story gets our vote for having the most fascinating picture.
Friedman, in today's 'most popular' article in the NY Times, echoes a theme that has been highlighted on this blog before - when he writes: "A dysfunctional political system is one that knows the right answers but can’t even discuss them rationally, let alone act on them, and one that devotes vastly more attention to cable TV preachers than to recommendations by its best scientists and engineers." Friedman also calls attention to America's lagging achievements in innovation - a topic we'll return to in a future posting.
The number one spot in the Washington Post and in the Guardian covered the appearance of President Obama on Jon Stewart's Daily Show - the only trend that we spotted.
Each morning we look at the 'most popular' list within nine papers from around the English speaking world and attempt to ask - what drives people's attention? And - should we be attending to something else? If so - how? If you have an answer to any of these questions - please comment below.
