This weekly humor newspaper, which knows no shame, has gained a reputation for its absurdist headlines and stories. The Newspaper Collectors Society of America has assembled the king of all newsroom morgues. The collection includes articles about coverage of the trial of John Peter Zenger and the hunt for Jack the Ripper, as well as the story of a reporter killed at the Battle of Little Big Horn and famous journalism hoaxes. It's actually senryu, but Headline Senryu doesn't have the same ring to it. Each day, news poets translate breaking stories from USA Today, National Public Radio, the BBC and other sources into 17-syllable summaries.
Submissions are welcome.
A few have even sent promotional kitsch as tokens of appreciation. The City Editor Hunk Page. Sign up here for his free e-mail newsletter. This site honors photographers for exemplary work in several mundane categories, including person in an office, groundbreaking ceremonies, pet of the week and group poses. Check out the small collection of photos that were never published, for a variety of reasons.
