FRONT-PAGE COFFIN PHOTOS

11:25 AM, April 23, 2004

Looks like about 23 of 179 American newspapers on the Newseum used a military coffins photo on the front page today: Boston Globe, New York Daily News, Colorado Springs Gazette, Cedar Rapids Gazette, New York Times, Wilmington News Journal, Tacoma News Tribune, Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Santa Rosa Press Democrat, Seattle Post-Intellegencer, St. Petersburg Times, Washington Post, Washington Times, L.A. Times and Dallas Morning News (no link).

The Anchorage Daily News, San Francisco Chronicle, Sacramento Bee, San Jose Mercury News, Hackensack Record and Chicago Sun-Times ran the Tami Silicio photo, and the Seattle Times fronted a story about the Memory Hole FOIA release, but ran no photos on the front.

Update: It will also be the lead photo on Saturday's International Herald Tribune.

Update v2.0: I've given the pages new links that won't be rotten by Saturday. Also clarified what some papers ran and added a couple.

Comments

Heads up: After you hit "post" things may be slow and you may get an error. Most likely, your comment did post. Apologies. I'm looking for a fix.

So did Dallas Morning News. Not sure why the front page isn't on Newseum today.

And the PDF you get at the DMN site is yesterday's! Probably the designer's fault. Those page designers are all slackers, y'know.

Add us to the list as well -- at least for the readers of our home editions. The Newseum site puts up our National Edition A1 which is published a couple of hours ahead of our home edition (at least for the next few weeks, then it'll be 30 minutes after our home edition).

Sorry about the post above lacking a critical bit of information -- "us" is the Los Angeles Times.

Will do. Thanks, Bill! I knew the Newseum does the Nat'l Edition, but I forgot to check your site for the real one.

Interesting. It appears that there were some Shuttle pictures in that dump from the Memory Holes' FOIA request.

Yeah, I wish I could find a better source for which coffin photos are the Columbia ones. I'd be interested to know if there are any that ran on covers, now that we know which papers ran the photos.
