This title reminds me of a small town newspaper satire done, I think, by Mad Magazine. A screaming headline reads, “VACATION OF LOCAL WOMAN INTERRUPTED” in smaller type beneath it continued, “When Japan Sinks Under Sea.”
While I feel badly for the woman the press’ attempt to humanize every story with a local angle does no service for the news.
lol. exactly
Just saw a headline that Indian Army Everest Expedition was training on Everest when the earthquake hit. I guess that may explain why the number of people there was so high.
