9/11/2006 IN A FOUR PAGE WRAP

Many newspapers around the world had different front pages with the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 story.

Only one wrapped the whole A section with a special four page section.

The credit of this "simple design idea" goes to Sam Hundley, projects designer at The Virginian-Pilot, who says:

It was Deborah Withey who boldly declared that my simple design idea for the 5th anniversary of 911 should be stripped bare of all nonessential information -- except for the eloquent essay by Lon Wagner -- and run as a 4-page wrap over the A section.

Terry Bishirjian, a reader, emailed this comment to the Pilot´s editors:

Subject: Stunning front page

"This is what will be lost when the V-P eventually is gobbled up by one of the mega-monsters. Brilliance, art, poetry. Communication at the deepest level. Nice job, y’all."
