A matter of lines and death
06 June 2004. Inspired by .
Newsdesigner.com has a great round-up of the US front pages and their treatment of Reagan. It certainly shows which images were cheap and widely available on the wires. But the Beaver County Times had already decided to design their newspaper in a 1940s style as a tribute to D-Day. Did Reagan's death make them ditch the design frippery? Did it heck (pdf). Good on 'em, I say.
Sidepoint: MeFi reports that Reagan was apparently just one of a number of celebrities to use the Autopen.
