(You wouldn't run file images of another car crash because you didn't have good images of Princess Diana's crash, would you?) To me, the election-night images were powerful enough that you wouldn't even think of looking at previous days' images. So I guess I'm thirding C-Dish and The Hawg. I'm glad to see the newspaper-sales boost, and it puts me in mind of the boost we enjoyed industry-wide after Sept. 11, 2001. It reinforces the importance and the authority we still wield... though I'm scratching my head that I'm equating Obama's election with a terrorist attack. You can't put the Internet in a keepsake photo album, but where does that put us for run-of-the-mill daily papers? Guess we need to Pump (clap) It Up? Heh.

Designs had little to do with big sales. Obviously, readers wouldn't have been as pumped up to buy a really horribly designed paper. I should clarify my previous post.
