Guilty. Condenado. Coupable. No matter how you say, the guilty verdict against former U.S. president Donald Trump was splashed all over newspaper front pages around the world (depending on the time zone, as it came too late for some). With this Trump becomes the first U.S. president to be convicted of a felony crime. On days with big news, I like to look at how different newspapers treat the news from a design perspective, which includes headlines, picture play, and so on.

This the second post I’ve done on Trump’s legal issues, and it likely won’t be the last Trump post as the U.S. election nears. If I were a betting man, I’d predict there could be some Trump wins front pages come November. But I will try not to do too much on Trump, as I know that has long been a criticism of the media: too much coverage.

Today there were dozens of front pages that gave Trump huge play. I have selected 20, for various reasons. Some that look the same, some very different, different languages and regions. I will start with two of the bigger U.S. papers, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times.

The next two are two of my favourites from a design perspective. Classic big news front pages. Big headlines and photos, some explainers. They are The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Next up, a selection of papers in other languages, from other parts of the world.

Here are a few U.S. tabloids.

Highlighting the Tampa Bay Times for use of the largest headline on the day, at least in broadsheet.

And to wrap it up, a slideshow, starting with another Canadian paper, the Ottawa Sun, giving the story classic tabloid treatment.
