WikiLeaks Julian Assange has turned himself in to British police - and it's the 'most read' topic in many newspapers around the world today. There's other news too - celebrity, sports, the French case against Continental, sex, changing family life - and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend's piece on Palin has returned to the number one 'most read' spot in the Washington Post.
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.
