# 1: Top Ranked Stories

Today's 'most read' article in the Washington Post is a reminder that news articles on the war rarely ever become 'most read.' Paul Krugman is possibly the most consistent name in the 'most read' spot in the NY Times. And a dumb tweet has the Australians and Brits in an uproar over a possible infringement of free speech.


Each morning we attempt to understand what drives people's curiosity and attention. This segment uses the simple metric of 'most viewed articles' - a feature on the home-pages of many newspapers. We examine newspapers from across the English speaking world.

If you have an answer to the questions - what drives people's attention? And - should we be attending to something else? If so - how? - then please comment below.
