# 1: Top Ranked Stories

Canadians - sadly - are getting fat too and baby seat manufacturers are paying the price. Shootings and/or murder - unfortunately - seems to be the biggest trend in the 'most read' spot. Three newspapers report on such an incident and readers are clicking on those stories more than any other. Perhaps though the most responsible attention getter this morning is this piece in the LA Times - currently the 'most read' article in that paper. Concerned business leaders in California want a plan for when the levees break and the state runs out of drinking water. 

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.
