News editor Linda Gonzales says the Bee tries to provide broader context to its celebrity-based Page One stories so they're more than simply about a celebrity -- Paris Hilton, for example -- in trouble. "People will disagree, I understand that, and only want hard news on the front page. The way we're doing it seems to be the prevailing wisdom right now and no one seems to have a better answer," she says. || Carol Goodhue: "So much attention to Hilton sent me over the edge." || Related Paul Janensch column.
