Nearly choked on breakfast this morning, when we sat down at Graziano's, a cool Argentine café in Coral Gables, and opened up the Sunday Miami Herald. The front page had been taken over by a giant ad! After huffing and puffing about the state of journalism today, where a major city paper would sell its front page, we finally realized (we hadn't had our coffee yet!) that the real front page was just inside and this was just a gimmicky wraparound designed to look like the front page of the Herald, tawdry headlines included. What do you guys think of gimmicks like this? Are they undermining a culture of serious and respectable journalism?
