Paper Monitor

12:28 UK time, Monday, 9 July 2012

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Paper Monitor didn't get its papers today. Probably as a result of moving to a shiny, new office.

So instead we're going to have to guess what's in them.

Broadly speaking there'll be a lot of photos of Andy Murray with the kind of dewy eyes some people get during Bambi/On Golden Pond/The Lion King/Terms of Endearment/Rabbit-proof Fence/The Notebook. Delete as applicable according to taste/intellect.

Some of the more grown-up papers will probably have some sort of representation of Roger Federer on the front. After all, he'll probably be remembered as the winner of seven Wimbledons and arguably the greatest tennis player of all time. Not merely the tennis grinch who crushed a nation's hopes.

There'll be plenty of stuff about the weather. Rain puns may occur on the front of the red-tops.

In the Daily Telegraph, there may be a picture of a group of attractive female 20-year-olds in wellington boots at a festival. Some or all may be blonde.

The Daily Mail may well have a dire prognosis that the rain will continue for the rest of the summer. It may also ruminate on the madness of hosepipe bans.

In a number of papers there'll be stuff about bankers, but probably not on the front as it was around a lot last week.

In the Daily Star, there'll be a fair smattering of scantily clad women, but possibly not on the front as they do less of that now.

On the front of the Guardian might be a serious story that no other paper seems to think is important.

The Daily Express will probably have gone its own way. Perhaps something combining bad weather, bankers and falling house prices?
