When same-sex marriage was finally legalized, it was a huge deal. The Wall Street Journal presented this on their front page with a fifth of their front page and no pictures or colors. It was all in black and white, seeming like they did not want this huge deal to be big at all. The title for the short article is, "Court Rules Gays Have Right to Marry." This title does not bring any sort of triumph or gleefulness but seems like they are taking shots at the LGBTQ community. They even have an ad for Omega watches that is about half the size of the whole article. On the other hand, Times-News' front page explodes with color. It has a picture of the White House with rainbow lights across it supporting the exciting news. The article for the new decision in Times-News is two-thirds of the front page with different interviews and questions and what it means for the country. Both news sources are some of the biggest in the country and it really shows a lot about what kind of audience they want to read their papers.
