Well, the stock market in Estonia is not doing very well.
But covers like this need a lot of good “why journalism.”
Your readers want to know more. They are always asking papers to:
Give me solutions!
Give me hope!
Help me!
They belong to the same company.
The last time that I visited them, they were in the same building.
Yesterday they had the same front page picture.
As you know, the editors of The New York Times and The Washington Post exchange their front pages every night …
They belong to different companies and they are in different cities.
In Vancouver, these two papers are together, but, as you can see, they are two separate worlds.
Another example of lack of communication inside, yes, communication companies!
It is one thing to use the front page to promote the stories of the day.
It is another thing to limit the space for our cover stories.
In Brazil this shrinking trend is very clear today.
From today’s front pages in San Francisco and Philadelphia.
Sports sell.
And dogs too.
Yes, he could be a crazy politician and a terrorist.
But front pages like this one are stupid.
This is exactly what he wanted.
To show that the U.S. is an intolerant country.
And we are not.
The Daily News is.
Great pictures on the front pages of British newspapers.
And many readers sending a lot of pictures to their Web sites.
The Guardian has the same picture of the Cathedral city but presented in a dramatic two-page spread.
A poster that will be a must for many local people!
Click on the picture and you will see it bigger.
Very busy front pages as always in Turkey.
But a dramatic one with a clear infographic.
A good example of how infographics work on the front page.
My only concern is that you cannot ignore the pictures of the winner.
Nobody expected such strong results for Erdogan.
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.
These are very dramatic front pages from today’s Brazilian newspapers.
Shocking if you have never been to Rio.
Normal for the locals and regular visitors.
What’s more striking to me is the almost general indifference from the rest of the papers in the country.
Good papers like Zero Hora just ignored the story on their front pages.
And Jornal do Brasil didn’t put any pictures in the cover.
But this was a big story.
City warfare!
And not covering such a bloody, messy story on so many front pages means that the Brazilian editors and journalists are burned-out from so much violence.
Not good.
Not good.
For Brazil.
And for their newspapers.
INNOVATION
