[Hillary Clinton made history Tuesday](http://time.com/4425337/dnc-hillary-clinton-female-nominee/) at the Democratic National Convention by becoming the first female presidential nominee of a major political party. That story led the front pages of newspapers across the country Wednesday, but some outlets paired their coverage of Clinton with a photo of the night’s keynote speaker, [Bill Clinton](http://time.com/4425527/dnc-bill-clinton-democratic-convention-hillary/).

Many took to Twitter to comment on whether it was appropriate to pair a photo of Clinton’s husband with the announcement of her nomination. Publications that led with Bill Clinton’s image, [according to the Newseum’s archive of front pages](http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/), included _The Chicago Tribune_, _The Washington Post_ and _The Houston Chronicle._

> [](https://twitter.com/kzwa/status/758279550623223809)


Other newspapers, such as _The Chicago Sun-Times_ and _The New York Times,_ led with images of Hillary Clinton or her supporters at the convention.
