FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
The Beijing Youth Daily gets the prize for a good mix of local and international stories.

The headlines are:

ESTABLISH 3 IMPORTANT TASKS TO PROTECT THE MINORS
Concern about youth morality (probably caused by recently apprehended student murderer Ma Jiajue who murdered his four college dorm mates with a hammer) has led to government statements, which will probably lead to the closure of Internet bars etc.

HAMAS SPIRITUAL LEADER YASSIN WAS KILLED BY MISSILE YESTERDAY
And they're not shy with the photo.

RESTAURANTS AND KARAOKE BANNED FROM GROUND FLOOR OF COMMUNITY APARTMENT BUILDINGS

WORST FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
The Beijing Daily Messenger gets it again for place a photo of Yassin's corpse directly above an advertisement for weight-loss medicine. Or perhaps it's intentional: being hit by a missile is one way to lose weight really fast.

The headlines are:

HAMAS SPIRITUAL LEADER KILLED BY MISSILE

NO SPACE FOR ROADWORTHY TESTS FOR NEW CARS

The Beijing News gets dishonorable mention for taking the tabloid road and pimping out the bottom half of the front page to advertisers.

The headlines aren't great either. Next to YASSIN KILLED BY MISSILE is the important news that ALL PUBLIC TOILETS CHANGED TO WATER-SAVING TYPE.

On the other hand, since the paper's editor just got thrown in jail, perhaps they should be forgiven. (For more about this, see a Reuters report here, or scroll to the bottom of this Danwei post.
