'Most Read' Articles From Around The World

The Koreas - at the moment - are no longer driving the most attention - but they are in the second 'most read' spot in many papers. Today - it's sex (Men fake the big O too), celebrity, people acting badly (particularly in this very NY story), and politics - the biggest trend this morning (among them, an intriguing story on Iceland as that country takes a bold step). Ireland is also heating up over the economic meltdown there.

Each morning we attempt to understand the factors that drive 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 a sampling of 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.
