I saw some front pages.
And almost all of them look alike.
Pictures of the dead.
24 hour later you could expect more than that.
I am sure that many of these newspapers included good pieces to explain the why’s of the crash.
This what The Economist is looking for.
As Damian Thompson writes today in The Telegraph:
“Poland, like most East European countries, is obsessed with conspiracies. Russians, Jews, Americans, Freemasons – they will all be blamed. Some stories will be more credible than others. These explanations are so much more emotionally satisfying to traumatised people than the likely truth: that the Polish politicians – like so many politicians in less developed countries – were accustomed to risking their lives in dodgy planes.”
So, again and again, newspapers do cosmetic design, instead of explanatory journalism.
Nice envelopes but where’s the beef?
Inside?
Perhaps.
But why not in the front page?
