WSJ-Style Business Newspaper Front Page

Prompt

A photorealistic overhead three-quarter view of a folded financial newspaper on a dark wooden desk, styled like a prestigious American business daily from the 1980s–2000s, with crisp realistic newsprint texture, subtle paper wrinkles, slightly worn folded edges, and warm morning sunlight casting diagonal window-shadow bands across the page. The masthead dominates the top in large classic serif capitals reading {argument name="newspaper name" default="THE WALL STREET DAILY."}.

Beneath the main story, add a secondary banner article across the page titled "Silicon Valley Braces for New Chapter in AI Arms Race" with a byline "By Liz Hoffman" and several short columns of text about big tech, startups, OpenAI, Google, Meta, chips, platforms, and AI competition.
