FRONT PAGE NEWS AROUND THE WORLD

A significant amount of front page column inches were devoted to coverage of Yingluck Shinawatra's general election win. Newspapers around the world - from The New York Times (pictured right) to leading newspapers in South Korea and even Sudan - chose to feature the news on the front page of their Monday editions. Newspapers in Austria, Pakistan and Sweden were also some who chose to give front page coverage to news from Thailand.

News and pictures also featured on front pages of regional U.S. newspapers, including the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and The Washington Times.

I'm personally a little surprised at the amount of front page global coverage this news has generated, especially on Independence Day in the United States and on the day after the Wimbledon men's final. Both of those stories featured more prominently on global front pages yesterday.
