World welcomes Pope Francis on front pages

Mar. 14, 2013 6:48 am

White smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel a little after 2 p.m. EDT Wednesday, giving newspapers on the other side of the Atlantic plenty of time to prepare front pages trumpeting the election of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as pope. The 76-year-old from Buenos Aires is the first pontiff from South America, the first Jesuit, and the first to take the name Francis. || Previous front pages: Pope Benedict XVI elected | Pope John Paul II dies

Sad faces of the sequester

Mar. 1, 2013 9:07 am

Absent a miracle, the "obscure process known as sequestration" will begin Friday, as automatic federal budget cuts to which Congress agreed in August 2011 will kick in. Many U.S. newspapers Friday looked at how the cuts will affect their readership. Others illustrated the sequester with images of sad national leaders who failed to make a deal to avoid them.

Same photo appears on front pages of NYT, WSJ, WashPost, NY Post

Feb. 9, 2013 8:44 am

It's not unusual for a single image to dominate a news event. But it is unusual for the same photo to be prominently featured on four major newspapers. Reuters photojournalist Brian Snyder captured the front page image (shown below) in Boston on Friday, as the storm was arriving. Only the New York Post uses the name 'Nemo' to refer to the blizzard that has dumped several feet of snow in the northeast and left thousands without power. || Update: The story behind Brian Snyder's photo || Related: New York Times, Wall Street Journal drop paywalls for storm coverage | How Wall Street Journal, NPR are using RebelMouse for storm coverage, Fashion Week (more...)

The 5 most inspiring Super Bowl moments and the best front pages

Feb. 4, 2013 7:42 am

The media Super Bowl may get as much attention as the play on the field, even with a game-stopping blackout and an upset win by the Baltimore Ravens over the San Francisco 49ers.

There were 24.1 million tweets about the game, including 5.5 million about Beyonce's halftime show, Twitter reports. That figure does not include the ads. Twitter appeared in half the Super Bowl commercials, according to Matt McGee at Marketing Land, who also counted four Facebook mentions, one YouTube appearance and one Instagram.

The commercials are anticipated, previewed and reviewed. Following Clint Eastwood's "Halftime in America" commercial for Chrysler at last year's Super Bowl, the car company used patriotism as a theme this year for a commercial about the military featuring Oprah Winfrey, and a spot about farmers, a version of which was produced by Farms.com and shared on YouTube in 2011.

Perhaps the most moving moment was when students from Sandy Hook Elementary school, where 20 children were killed, sang "American the Beautiful" with Jennifer Hudson. (more...)

New York newspapers honor Hizzoner Ed Koch

Feb. 2, 2013 9:34 am

Former mayor Ed Koch, 88, will be buried Monday at a grave marked with journalist Daniel Pearl's last words. Politico's Mike Allen collects journalists' memories of covering Koch, including this from Michael Oreskes, then at The New York Times:
There was a time in my life when I had occasion to spend hours every day with Edward I. Koch. He was a first-term mayor. I was City Hall bureau chief of the city's largest newspaper. There were days when he spent so much time talking to me -- and to my journalistic colleagues in the famous Room Nine -- that I wondered where he found the time to be mayor. Then I came to understand that for Edward I. Koch (there were those who put the emphasis on the "I"), talking to me was being mayor.
Koch's death Friday was mourned by the city he loved, and his legacy is honored on Saturday's front pages, shown below (courtesy of the Newseum). || Related: Koch was a lightning rod for two black journalists | New York Times revises Koch obit to address AIDS controversy

School shooting front pages show the power of a single word, a name

Dec. 15, 2012 10:18 am

Saturday's front pages capture the nation's horror after 26 people were killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Though many newspapers used quotes and partial phrases, some of the most powerful pages relied on the power of a single word.

Sunday's front pages listed the names of the dead: 20 children at the school, all ages 6 and 7; 6 adults at the school, and the shooter's mother at her home. There has been a quiet movement since the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting to minimize mentions of a killer's name and remember the victims. These front pages underline that intention.

That roll call continued in some Monday papers, which also highlighted the speech given by President Obama at an interfaith service in Newtown on Sunday night.
