Author Jan White once said that newspaper design is a tool to make things clear, no matter whether you're designing for readers of the New York Times or the Munsonian, the student newspaper at Muncie Central High School in Indiana.

When editors play big stories, their regional differences and biases come through. A case in point: the victory by the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees in the seventh game of the American League Championship Series.

Note how newspapers in the New York area handled the story differently than editors in New England, the regional home of the Red Sox.

And see how some papers outside those two areas handled the story.
