Experts split on whether it should be allowed to vote
The subject, moments before the incident.
In a development that has stunned neighbours and startled pigeons alike, the subject was observed last week doing exactly what it has always done — but now, allegedly,
on purpose. Witnesses called the scene “unprecedented” and “very fast.” Officials confirmed the story this morning, calling it “within policy” and “slightly concerning,” and promised a full investigation.

How to make a newspaper clipping
Name the paper
Type a newspaper name for the masthead and a date line. Old dates like 1928 make it look properly vintage.
Write the headline and story
Add a short, dramatic headline, a subheading, a byline and the story. Long stories flow into columns on their own.
Add a photo
Upload a photo (it stays on your device) and pick a frame and a look: halftone black and white, sepia or colour.
Style and download
Choose paper, ink, masthead type, columns and the EXTRA! stamp, then download a PNG or JPG, copy the image or share a link.
Ideas for your newspaper clipping
- A birthday front page with the guest of honour as the headline
- Retirement or farewell gifts for a colleague
- Wedding and anniversary announcements
- Classroom history projects and mock news reports
- Escape room and treasure hunt props
- Social posts and group chat jokes
Tips for a better result
- Keep headlines under ten words — real front pages shout in short bursts.
- Use a past date and the Aged sepia paper for an antique look.
- Halftone photos look like real newsprint; colour suits modern papers.
