Cheap laugh or reminder of juxtapositioning risks? January 9, 2009
Posted by Jonathan Hewett in : journalism education , trackbackTake your pick which (or choose both) but it was hard to resist this, from the Media Guardian site today.
Salvation Army meets Daily Sport
Makes perfect sense, with the War Cry going tabloid…
…except that the pic was intended to go with the item below it, about the £18.2m loss by Sport Media Group, publisher of the Daily Sport.
On a slightly less frivolous note, those horizontal rules between articles (but absent in this case — perhaps obscured by the pic?) do have their uses. And awkward juxtapositioning is arguably harder to avoid online; I recall a few clangers, particularly with ads.
But it does provide a bit of light relief from news about job cuts.
