A WORLD NEWSPAPER RECORD FOR BAD TASTE IN COLOMBIA

col_vl.jpg

Well, this must be a world record.

The newspaper front page with less news than advertising.

Yes, this is a tradition of Colombian newspapers, but on a day with such terrible news (the killing by FARC guerrillas of 11 kidnapped members of parliament), this doesn’t make any sense.

At all!

Bad design.

Bad taste.

Bad journalism.

Bad editorial decision.

Bad advertising.

You need to respect readers and advertisers.
