Must have been a slow news day...


Well my title to this entry says it all. If you look at today's front page of the Las Vegas Review-Journal, you obviously see and enormous centerpiece that spans the entire length of the page. The purpose behind the centerpiece? It's not a story. It's a giant and colorful quiz that asks the reader to match each presidential candidate with each of their alternate career choices. It's different and there is supposedly a story to go with the centerpiece on the inside pages, but did it really need that much space on the front page? The concept feels much more like something that would randomly appear on the inside pages of a magazine, but not on the front page of a newspaper. Just some quick thoughts.
