Hot Off the Press: Michigan primary day papers

The political world is focused on Michigan today as Republican presidential candidates John McCain and Mitt Romney duke it out in the state's primary. Here's how two Gannett Michigan papers looked this morning. (I would have liked to have included the Lansing State Journal, but I couldn't find it in the Newseum's database.) Both the Detroit Free Press and the Times Herald north of Detroit are reporting light turnout so far.

The Free Press hits a cultural trifecta this morning: politics, in the presidential primary; the annual Detroit Auto Show, and that other contest, the start of American Idol's seventh season.

The Times Herald, where local officials were tamping down expectations of long lines at the polls.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
