Brevard | A local Haiti angle -- and on deadline

Yesterday's 7.0 earthquake struck at 5 p.m. ET -- same as in Haiti -- giving Gannett's East Coast newspapers less time to grasp the magnitude of the story than West Coast papers. Even so, Florida Today managed to get a local-angle story out front (see, arrow, above) in today's print edition.

Got a Gannett front page to recommend? Find it in the Newseum's page one database, then post a link in the comments section, below. To e-mail confidentially, write jimhopkins[at]gmail[dot-com]; see Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the rail, upper right.

    Looks like Gannett print did a lot better than Gannett online. check them all out, Jim.

    Just because you have something doesn't mean it's any good. Florida Today is a poorly designed and shoddily reported newspaper. Period.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
