Paper Monitor

12:17 UK time, Friday, 20 February 2009

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press newspaper websites.

No newspapers at Monitor Towers today so Paper Monitor's manicured fingers are spared the smudgey print and are instead clicking their merry way through the best of the web.

But wait, what's this? A discarded Guardian under a desk?

And it's looking like Groundhog Day as the paper plasters another Starbucks grande moccacino across the prime real estate of the blurb bar above the masthead?

After the twists and turns of yesterday's Starbucks coverage in the Guardian, analysed in these pages, it's normal service again in the Land of Unlikely Bedfellows, with the promise of a complimentary coffee for every reader.

Now back to the online news offerings.

Here are some stereotypical headlines. Guess the paper:

1. "MUSLIM SCHOOLS BAN OUR CULTURE"

2. "CRIME IS GOING TO RISE - UNLESS WE GET LIBERAL"

3. "HITCHENS BLOODIED BUT UNBOWED AFTER SCRAPE ON BEIRUT BOULEVARD"

4. "THE DAY I WALKED OUT ON MY LIFE: A MIDDLE-CLASS MOTHER REVEALS HER BID TO DISAPPEAR"

5. SLUMMER LOVIN'

Answers: 1. Express 2. Independent 3. Guardian (it's Christopher Hitchens, not brother Peter) 4. Daily Mail 5. Sun

And for those of you that struggled on those, here's an under-arm throw, as it's Friday...

"HOW THE TIMES UNCOVERED THE NOTES"
