Did the Blade receive it from the same anonymous source (Canada)?BGFan wrote:FWIW - The Blade also received a copy of the photo (although a day or so later). I don't believe that they've published it or even plan to but I could be wrong.

I seriously doubt if the S-T would EVER publish the photo, since they do not even list "cause of death" in obituaries.Schadenfreude wrote:While I'm sure publishing the photo would have offended some readers (even if they creatively Photoshopped an area below the belt), that's sometimes that's a risk a newspaper needs to take.
Just a thought that crossed my mind when I read this Schad.Personally, I can't wait for all of this to be HISTORY!!! Finish the investigation, deal out the punishment, and MOVE ON!!!!
TIME TO SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP THE LAKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

But I also know that small newspapers are capable of rising to big occasions.
The Eagle-Tribune of Lawrence, Mass. is not a big paper. But you should see the job they did when four kids drowned in an icy river two years ago:

And here is a collection of editorials on the subject of civil unions from the Rutland (Vt.) Herald:

I've been through Rutland. It's tiny; I'm pretty sure Bowling Green is bigger.
But the thoughtful work of a lone editorial writer at that speck of a paper in Rutland absolutely put to shame the much larger, corporate-owned Burlington Free Press. If I remember right, the Free Press never once weighed in on what may have been the most important public policy issue of that year in Vermont.
And that's why David Moats of the Rutland Herald and the staff of the Lawrence Eagle-Tribune now have Pulitzer prizes to call their own. They rose to big occasions.
