Women's Marches

1.      After the inauguration of President Trump, people took to the streets to protest him and his administration. Newspapers did a great job in portraying these marches in various ways. The headline of the front page on the Providence Sunday Journal, reads, “Global Rebuke,” and contains this photo underneath the headline that effectively emphasizes the number of people who are fighting for women’s rights. NewseumED comments on the sheer impact of the inauguration, “Hundreds of sister marches also took place on all seven continents. From Stockholm to Buenos Aires to New Delhi to Cape Town, marchers publicized their opposition to the Trump administration and pushed for women’s rights.” The rest of the page is filled with photos of more reaction-based shots taken during the march, where you can read the signage and see the expressions of protesters. In stark contrast, The Daily News’s front page covering the marches is much more simplistic. The article is named “Hear Them Roar,” and combines the headline with the cover photo that shows three women in it. The women’s faces seem to be full of joy as they are surrounded by thousands who stand in solidarity with them. Other than that, the page contains a red block in the lower right-hand corner to prompt the audience to continue reading about the topic on later pages of the newspaper.
