Junky tabloid Beijing Daily Messenger (left, click to enlarge) features a big photo showing a young guy who wanted to kill himself by jumping off a 15 meter-high outdoor billboard, with a series of small pictures to tell the whole story. The guy's sister called him on his cell phone before he jumped and she persuaded him to live another day. What important news...

Both Beijing Youth Daily and The Beijing News highlight the same livelihood topic in their leading headlines:

The Beijing News is : "The average price of gasoline increases by 25 cents"
Beijing Youth Daily is: "The price of No 93 gasoline increases by 26 cents".

Who knows how much gasoline costs in Beijing now ?

Beijing Times keeps focusing on the anti-corruption topic which was popular in most newspapers yesterday. Its leading headline is: Ma De pleads guilty to 12 counts of "selling government officer's position" or bribery. Ma had acted as the Party secretary of Suihua city, in Heilongjiang Province. During his term of office, he helped his friends and relatives get high positions in government. This case is the biggest "selling government position" case since the birth of the People's Republic.

Besides the above stories from China, most newspapers expanded their sights to America. All of them mention the story of teenage gunman Jeff Weise, a Minnesota high school student who killed nine people before killing himself. The Beijing News also has analysis on America's "culture of violence".
