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.
The following headlines come from the top 'most read' stories from twelve newspapers from around the world at the moment of this blog's posting.
Wikileaks remains the subject of choice for readers around the world. An LA Times column (that paper's 'most read' article at the moment) claims that the NY Times set the record straight on an unlikely conclusion that the Guardian drew yesterday from the wikileaks - a conclusion that made it into that paper's 'most read' spot. That same LA Times piece attempts to call attention to the 'larger truth' revealed by the wikileaks.
The Times of India deserves a prize for keeping the same story in their 'most read' spot for more days than any other paper. And morality as a theme has captured people's attention this morning - whether it's about accountability online, exploitation in India or inequality - a theme in two other papers - here and here.
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.
