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/mckinneykelsey/status/758279911140302848) > [](https://twitter.com/ChantelleMoo12/status/758295378320130048) > [](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. > [](https://twitter.com/GibsonTwist/status/758304102287749120) > [](https://twitter.com/furiouscinema/status/758289785849012225) > [](https://twitter.com/Draug419/status/758316380747812864) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4426191/hillary-clinton-front-page-newspaper-bill-clinton/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4426191/hillary-clinton-front-page-newspaper-bill-clinton/"},"headline":"Why People Are Angry Newspapers Led Their Hillary Clinton Nomination Coverage With a Photo of Bill","datePublished":"2016-07-27T16:04:27.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T23:35:09.526Z","description":"Clinton is the first female nominee of a major party","url":"https://time.com/4426191/hillary-clinton-front-page-newspaper-bill-clinton/","keywords":["Media","Hillary Clinton","Bill Clinton","Democratic National Convention"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Emma Ockerman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/emma-ockerman/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/media/","name":"Media"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4426191/hillary-clinton-front-page-newspaper-bill-clinton/","name":"Why People Are Angry Newspapers Led Their Hillary Clinton Nomination Coverage With a Photo of Bill"}}]}] ```
