I would guess that there may be some significance to the other stories listed on the page. The main headliner draws one’s attention to that story but there are other side stories that may offer hints.
For instance:
– the “Welcome Home, John Doe” headline also has a story on “Remnants of Seventeenth Century Colonial Settlement Uncovered at Harestock Bridge”. Above page is “Comet Marley Makes Debut Appearance”. On the back page is a partial US weather map with red dots. Can’t tell if the red dots signify normal cities or something else. Plus part of the map is shaded.
– the “Ex-Jailbird Emma Swan Birthed Babe Behind Bars”. The picture was cropped to only show 6in vs 5’6” on other picture. Has story on “Pumpkin week… seasonal family treat..”. Above that is another partial “A Cassou??…. Diary” I can’t read it.
– “7 Year Old Boy Finds Baby on Side of Road” Trying to read reporter’s name … “M.SOPARLO” ??
– “HEARTLESS!”. Other story is “Storybrooke Elementary Girl is Crowned New Champion at Regional Spelling Bee”. Is that Grace/Paige? How big “regional”? Can’t read caption under picture. Hmm ..interesting choice of words ‘crowned’. Maybe I’m reading too much into that word.
– the newspaper MM is holding. The back looks different than the other one. Maybe it’s just the whole page showing. Two other articles on weather page. One is the charity event and I can’t read the one on the left.
