Best coverage of the Virginia Tech tragedy...
As a journalist, I tend to look at how media outlets cover issues, rather than just absorb the news like a regular consumer. With the tragedy at Virginia Tech, I found that I was logging on two, three times an hour because it seemed like the story was changing by the hour. I looked at front pages of various newspapers the next day (Tuesday morning) and a lot of them had the basics on front - 33 dead, massacre, unknown gunman, etc.
Then I looked at Virginia Tech's own student newspaper and it was, beyond a doubt, the best front page I've seen in a while. Kudos to the staff for getting it right in the midst of such tragedy.

This situation is extremely unfortunate...hopefully everyone at VTech can support each other, and eventually return to normalcy-
I completely agree. This is absolutely the best coverage and got the first tear i have been able to shed over this incident as we the story becomes more bizarre - and expected. Etheral in its sorrow. Thanks for posting!
