McPaper in Germany
McPaper is a bookstore chain in Germany. I am in Cairo, Egypt preparing for a week of work with my clients and was cleaning out the photos from my iPhone. This was shot a couple days ago in Potsdam, Germany where the journalists I talked to had never heard that “McPaper” was the snooty term some journalists use to label USA Today - the largest circulation paper in the U.S.
These are my Newseum picks from my currently neutral vantage point of Berlin, Germany.
I chose them because they represent a range of editing choices, colorful headlines and graphics options.
FYI: I can tell you that the Danes and Germans I have met are actively interested in this U.S. presidential race - much more so - they tell me - than any in recent memory. I have a lot of practice this past week explaining the U.S. primary process and the road to the White House to editors over here. That’s pretty cool!
