John,
Honestly, I think the game was late enough that blowing out a huge package on page one is acceptable. This is a moment in history, and not EVERYONE knew. In fact, because I don't watch much baseball, I didn't know until this morning.
I think in the spirit of letting the average joe who doesn't watch baseball know, it's okay to treat this as breaking news. This is one of those things that a lot of people only kind of care about, but care about it enough that when it happens, they want to know.
Just my opinion. |

I'm with ya, but national stuff really isn't our focus (we're geared more toward hyperlocal and community stuff), and I don't think newspapers are really in the "breaking news" biz anymore, but that's another argument for another day. There's a thread on which I offer my opinions about that. Something about smash heads or some such.

Of course, it's the New York Post, but I loved how they did the 756 in syringes against a black screen. Out of all the fronts I saw, that's the one that really caught my eye because of the statement it made. Maybe it's just me, but the asterisk and the syringes are highly editorial statements even if they are made visually. We all have our opinions (myself included), but there is no proof that Bonds was/is dirty and for a few papers to more or less indict him in that regard crosses boundaries I'd rather not see crossed. It's no different that convicting an accused murderer in print before they've gone to trial. Innocence until proven guilty and all that, you know.
