“The Best Place on Earth, Seahaven voted Planet’s Top Town.” This assists in the control of Truman as it makes the place where he lives is very safe and secure. This makes him not want to leave, and it makes it seem like every other city or town is very unsafe. Another newspaper that says “Who Needs Europe?” makes it seem like every other place is boring to be at, which implies that Seahaven is the fun place and that Truman should stay there.
