Ellipsis in newspapers and magazines

Does anyone have any good internet links/activities on the use of ellipsis in newspapers and magazines? Rather than do my own at this stage I �m looking for some sample activities where ellipsis has been intentionally used and our students can then try to work out what is actually missing.

Target group is young adult international students, upper-intermediate, preparing for tertiary entrance
