Good morning and welcome to Newsweek’s summary of Thursday’s national, regional and international newspapers.
The Wall Street Journal
The Wall Street Journal splash is an exclusive on the NBA entering TV negotiations for the first time in a decade. The paper reports that the league is close to deals with NBC, ESPN and Amazon, which would create an estimated $76 billion in media revenue over the next 11 years. It also features a story about new concerns over Joe Biden’s health. The paper says five sources reported that the President spoke so softly at a recent meeting with congressional leaders that some could not hear him and that he closed his eyes for long periods of time.
The New York Times
The New York Times goes big on the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It reports on the largely unknown role of French resistance fighters, who responded to coded Allied messages on BBC radios to support the Operation Overlord invasion. The paper also carries a prominent story on how Republican allies of Donald Trump are pushing for ‘revenge prosecutions’ following the former president’s criminal conviction in New York last week.
The Washington Post
The Washington Post reports on the Hunter Biden trial, stating that it is opening a window into the internal drama in the Biden family, as family members take the stand. It also reports that May was the 12th consecutive month of record temperatures, citing European climate scientists.
New York Post
The New York Post splashes on a story that Governor Kathy Hochul is pausing the $15 congestion charge on all vehicles entering lower Manhattan.
USA Today
USA Today leads on a piece of news analysis on whether the latest ceasefire plan for the Middle East can work. The paper reports that Benjamin Netanyahu risks revolt from ultra-nationalists, who could topple his ruling coalition if he agrees to it. It runs a big piece on the 80th anniversary of D-Day, with the diary of a French grandmother who witnessed the monumental events of June 6.
Houston Chronicle
The Houston Chronicle leads on a plan to extend a program that sends social workers instead of sheriff’s deputies to some non-violent crimes. Its main image is a recreation of the landings of thousands of paratroopers, which marked the start of the D-Day operation, 80 years ago today.
Boston Globe
The Boston Globe reports that the Republican Convention this summer in Milwaukee is likely to be “awkward”, as it quotes supporters of Nikki Haley who say they are not satisfied with the current presumptive nominee, Donald Trump.
