Eh, put it on page 12...
According to a video I just watched on CNN.com, apparently a newspaper in Oklahoma failed to mention the day after the election that Barack Obama won the presidency last week. People in the town are apparently upset that this is some sort of latently racist act intended with malice towards the new biracial president elect. I think there's probably some truth to this claim, but I also understand the plight of beleaguered publisher. He said that people who buy his paper aren't looking for coverage of national and international news as they can get this from a number of other sources.
While I think it's utterly foolish for a newspaper to completely ignore such an obviously monemental occasion (according to some reports, newspapers had their best sales day since 9/11 because of the Obama victory) I understand where he's coming from. All I've heard since I've been a small-town journalist is that the way we're going to stay alive and kicking into the 21st century is to be hyper-local. That "we have to be at the meetings no one else will attend and tell the stories other outlets don't have the time or interest to cover" seems to be the first sentence in the new edition of the holy texts of the industry. We're being drilled on this fact constantly, so I can totally see how someone took this maxim to the limit.
But since the only thing that the paper did publish on its front page was that the county the paper resides in went for McCain, yeah there's probably a dash of racism sprinkled into the mix.
