Papers to compete with Cherry-Coke Jello Mold

There's lots of competition for readers' attention today, what with Thanksgiving newspaper circulars to scour for Black Friday deals -- and all the extra bing cherries Aunt Marcelline piled into her world-famous Cherry-Coke Jello Mold. So! Why not try something different on page one -- as this sampling of Gannett papers shows?

First up is the Times Herald in Port Huron, Mich. (bigger view):


The Tulare (Calif.) Advance-Register (bigger view):


And The Arizona Republic (bigger view):

    The Times Herald front page makes me gag! I just can't adequately describe how much I don't like that cover!

    The Times Herald cover looks like it stepped straight out of school display case.

    Re. Republic's cover: Apparently the Great Depression angle came as localizations of GNS/USAT effort. My southern region paper also featured Great Depression survivors yesterday. Those localizations and rewrites keep our "public service team" busy.
