2007 Newspaper Headlines

Which 2007 events are still remembered and spoken about today because of their public interest and importance? The year 2007 saw the outbreak of a deadly strain of Bird Flu in Suffolk and Foot and Mouth disease on a farm in Surrey. Gordon Brown is elected as leader of the Labour Party, succeeding Tony Blair, and becomes Prime Minister three days later. Memories of Princess Diana are evoked in July while ‘The Concert For Diana’ is held at Wembley Stadium; the concert is held on the day that would have been Diana’s 46th Birthday prior to the 10th anniversary of her death. With many other important 2007 newspaper articles, including those reporting the abduction and later the release of Alan Johnston in Gaza City, a 2007 newspaper would provide invaluable information and views from the time of publishing.
