With the recent trend of feminism, mainly on social media, a group of males created an account called "Meninists" to mock feminism and to share their point of view on the way feminists see men. Although now, there are still many sexist people out in the world today who treat women differently than they would men. Men currently hold many powerful jobs and remain to be part of the main authority over women.

Statement
My favorite photo in the newspaper is Elijah Hall by Isabel Rosales
It is my favorite because I really like action shots and this one is done very well.
Leading lines
Picture by Alyssa Martinez of kids holding their phones
I think it is very common and not unique.
Evita would have been fun to cover.
8.5. Some photos are very creative but some lack a spark of interest.

Other High School newspapers
"The Lake" is my favorite magazine cover because its creativity and how clean cut the cover has, not having too many things going on at once.
The cover immediately grabbed my attention because I have not seen a high school magazine where it has a triplicate of someone let alone them be different colors and transparent to look at.
"Students stand up for their education" is my favorite headline, reasoning because I think it is a topic that is being address recently and other students need to know what is going on with the rest of the school and how people are feeling about the topic.
No stories are on the front cover of the newspaper.
They all have the name of the newspaper at the top, and then the headline underneath it. The dominant photo and the corresponding story lie next to the headline(s), then side stories and pictures in columns.
Things that vary within newspapers is the size of the headlines, the theme, the colors used to correspond with the theme, the layout, and how many stories are on the front cover.
Mostly yes, but different themes are definitely shown.
Broadsheet examples:
"Granite Bay Gazette"
"The Register"
"The Sidekick"
Tabloid examples:
"Eagle Edition"
"The Phoenix"
"Quaker Shaker"
NewsMagazine examples:
"The Lake"
"North Star"
"El Estoque"
Elements:
Headlines: A display line placed directly over the story summarizing to the reader.
Subheadlines: A smaller headline beneath the main headline.
Lines: A horizontal row of printed words.
Boxes: Refers to type that is framed in a border to give it prominence.
Photos: Pictures of events that correspond to the stories.
Teaser: Is often found at the front of the page and is used to announce a critical story.
Flag: A stylized signature of the newspaper, the newspaper's name.
Folios: Publication information such as date and page number, printed on every page of the newspaper.
Captions: Words printed next to a picture explaining what the picture is showing.
Stories: An article/report of a major event or minor stories.
Bylines: A printed line at the head of a paper carrying the writer's name.
Jumps: A line identifying the page on or from which a newspaper story is continued.
Story Divers: Something that divides the stories.
Screens: Pattern of tiny dots used to create grey areas.
Infographics: Any map, chart, or diagram used to analyze and event, object, or place.
