Here's a page from the Vero Beach (Fla.) Press Journal. An interesting presentation regarding a new law that might go into effect barring sex offenders from living within a certain distance from schools. Ethical question of the day: Do we single these people out? Do we do it on the front page? Certainly this information is available to the public through other means, so it's perfectly legal, but is this ethical?
Here's a page from the Northeast Mississipi Daily Journal in Tupelo (Long live The King!) Original story by John Armisted, though it's not clear who painted the, uh, paintings. The story is a work of fiction and will run in the paper over the next seven days (so, eight days total). Question of the day, pt. 2: Is the newspaper a place for this kind of writing? Is the front page?

All good questions from Sean. And a reminder that we aren't unthinking machines at the end of the "get MY story in the paper" line. It might feel too late, but it never is when accuracy is involved, so speak up designers! You are the last line of defense!
