'Most Read' Articles From Around The World



Hackers, sex, protests and more - plus this story in the Guardian begs the question - how much more will we learn about corporate behavior and US diplomacy as newspapers sift through their gift from WikiLeaks? 


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.
