News in Photos: July 21, 2012


     Today is the final entry in this week's "News in Photos" template. While I enjoy covering a variety of topics, it isn't the reason that I started Under the Fold. By talking about the news of the day I'm missing the stories that were under reported. It's also difficult to really research and explain the details behind a story when I'm covering three in one post. The "News in Photos" design may be something I tweak for future posts but for right now I'm going to shelf it. Today's post will conclude this template by listing the top news headlines and provide an accompanying image and link. My reason for the short post is so that I can begin research into tomorrow's story.
