The front page of Tuesday’s St. Louis Post-Dispatch provided a stunning display of the chaos taking place in Ferguson, Mo.
A vivid photo of a police officer firing tear gas was accompanied by the headline: “Streets Flare Up.” The Post-Disptach also featured an announcement of school closures and a diagram of Michael Brown’s autopsy findings.
Here’s the front page, via the Newseum:
Remember, kids, if you need help, just call Officer Friendly!
Yikes! That is some BFG!
…and newspaper sales exploded…
Yikes, phasers on disintegrate!
Has alQaeda or Putie offered to oversee peace negotiations?
That’s a contender for a Pulitzer in photojournalism.
