How Do You Cover a Shooting Story Everyone Else Is Covering?

You're a newspaper editor. There's been a massacre in Texas. But there are no front-page sized images of the shooter! What do you do? To the front pages!

The only image of Nidal Hasan available (until the shoe-leather journalists hit the streets, harass his friends and family, and get something better) is tiny and black and white. So the three broadsheets go with photojournalistic depictions of the horror on the army base. The Daily News runs a stark black front page with the small picture in the corner. The Post, at least in the editions available online goes with... baseball.

In most of the papers Hasan is a troubled Army psychiatrist, possibly suffering from PTSD after hearing the harrowing tales of returning soldiers. In the Post he's an 'Army Muslim Major'.

Oh, and there are other stories too, doubtless cut at the last minute when the shooting news broke. Palestinian politics! Gruesomeness in Cleveland! Healthcare! Baseball!
