The Front Page Of Monday's Virginian-Pilot Was An Ode To Vanilla Ice
I saw this at the Newseum yesterday. I'm glad DCist did all the work for me.
The Front Page Of Today's Virginian-Pilot Is An Ode To Vanilla Ice
by Rachel Kurzius in News on Jan 9, 2017 11:36 am
It's important to remember that, for every front page that goes wrong, there's another serving as an example of pure printing magic.
Hats off to the The Virginian-Pilot for today's A1 page, which stops, collaborates, and listens to meld two separate headlines—one about freezing road conditions and another about a snow plow driver who helped a woman in labor get to the hospital—into a brand new invention.
The person behind today's cover is Lisa Merklin, page designer for The Virginian-Pilot, who says the newsroom "had a great laugh about it."
"I was really excited to run it," Merklin says. "I thought, 'They're never going to go for it.'" But she got her first sign that it might just make the presses when "the news editor looked at me, and he didn't look at me with revulsion."

In the end everyone got a good laugh at his expense also since he did reality TV.
