Attention Drivers votes for two articles that deserve special attention today. The NY Times piece which warns of another looming economic storm and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's piece in the Washington Post - which highlights Sarah Palin's desire to return Americans to the middle ages.
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.
