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.
