FROT PAGES

Tabloid: a front page more casual. That talks about entertainment news; it talks about
news, but not in the way that broadsheets do.

3 of the best... trench coats

Face winter with a
classic trench coat.

One of the Harry Potters’

protagonists, Emma Watson, has
been seen on a Burberry coat.

She wears a nice coat; a bring

colour that gives another vision to
winter. A fresh look.

From The Sun
Quality newspaper: It talks about serious news; what is happening in the world and in
our country. It talks about politic, economic, society...issues. It’s a more explained
view.

Confusion about Pope’s opinion

on condoms.
Pope said that condoms are acceptable in certain cases.

Benedict XVI said, on a book, that in certain cases it can be a

good solution. In justified cases it can save lives. On that point
he seems to relax the controversial issue of contraceptives in the
view of Catholicism.

In some cases where the intention is to reduce the infections.

But he didn’t talk about the main issue: in a catholic married
couple, can or can’t use a condom.

From Daily Telegraph
