While I was flicking through the Front page archive on Newseum.org on Auguration day 2009 I was surprised to see an entry from my hometown’s local paper ‘The Scarborough Evening News.’ Only 6 Papers in total were featured from the UK, The Guardian, The Times, The Daily Telegraph and a couple others… but why on earth was the Evening News featured?

Weird to be featured isn’t it, must have wanted a real Yorkshire-flavour…of the inaugeration….or should that be…of the bacon factory..

Must say though, they have a weird way of fitting the headlines into the frontpage, I’d ahve reduced the size of the text a little instead!

I’m hoping that the stock screenshot will have been provided with a pre-press version exported from Quark … and won’t be a real shot of a front page.
