An unwritten rule among newspaper headline writers is to be tasteful when dealing with tragedies.
So let’s take a look at how various newspapers available in the Hudson Valley headlined the Wednesday morning story about Sen. Ted Kennedy being diagnosed with a brain tumor.
Daily Freeman, Kingston: Kennedy has cancerous brain tumor
Times-Herald Record, Middletown: Citizens, politicians pull for stricken Sen. Kennedy
Times Union, Albany: Cancerous growth in Kennedy’s brain
New York Times: Kennedy has a malignant brain tumor
USA Today: Kennedy fights for his life
New York Post: TED IS DYING!
Once a rag, always a rag.
