Tired hed. Just let it die.
Good grief. Just retire this hed. It was OK on election night, but it seriously needs to be put back on the shelf. Please. I hope that the Bakersfield editors won’t subject their readers with more 4 years of heads saying “You’re Hired,” or “You’re Fired” every time someone comes and goes in the Trump administration.
All the ad that fits
Front page of the Vancouver Sun. Hooooooly Smmmmmmmokes! Do they do this all the time? I’ll have to check in more to find out. I have never seen a newspaper devote the entire front page news hole to an ad.
Fanboys take over the front page
Wow, there must be some real Star Wars fanboys down there in Harlingen, Texas! That is a huge chunk for the front page to devote to a graphic … about a movie … a so-so movie.
Design kudos
Kudos to The Bakersfield Californian for designing the Russian tricolor into this design. I wonder how many of their readers noticed?

Newspapers are iconic
I saw this site linked from Imgur. It’s a web site that is not associated with any newspaper, so it’s a 100% digital only news site.
So what’s up with the giraffe? I have no idea, but notice that they use a newspaper in their logo, which leads me to ponder the fact that newspapers are iconic. Newspapers are “news” and there really is no digital equivalent.
Additionally, The Daily Upvote also uses newspaper images elsewhere:
