A study in contrasts

Darren Sanefski — much more enterprising than I — got up early this morning to study how newspapers around the country dealt with Monday’s stock market meltdown.

In his session, he pointed out a number of interesting treatments. I’m fascinated by the contrast in these two papers:

Stock meltdown papers

On the left is the very well-designed Hartford Courant. On the right, of course, is the equally well-designed — but very different — Virginian-Pilot, my former paper.

Both wonderful. Each with different audiences.
