I see that a lot of messages here are concerd with "name the font", so
I'm interested in the fonts newspapers use. Particularly:

1. The New York Times
2. Le Parisien (logo title)
3. Libération
4. Portugal's "Publico"
5. Spain's "El Correo"
6. Economic Times
7. Business Day

Did I exaggerate? ;-) Sorry.

Here's the NY Times font(s):

"The Times's text typeface, for news and editorials, remains Imperial, 
designed in the 1950's by Edwin W. Shaar and adopted by the newspaper 
in 1967."

The rest of the fonts used by NYT...

That was easy enough. Now there are only six more publications to go.

I think I found the Le Parisien font:

a site says it's a distorted version of Bodega Sans and for headlines 
they use Poynter Gothic Text.
