Interest in policy over politics drove attention to articles in the LA Times and in the Globe and Mail, making those pieces the 'most read' stories in their respective papers. The murder mystery in South Africa is now capturing the 'most read' spot in the Sydney Morning Herald as well as in South Africa's City Press. The controversial TSA security checks, now the subject of this 'most read' piece in the Washington Post, are also driving related articles higher up on the 'most read' list in other papers. Celebrities, once again, including this one on Palin, dominate the 'most read' place in several papers.
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. Thanks.
