Did any editors yell “stop the presses” when news of Senator Ted Kennedy’s death came in the earliest hours of the morning? From a look at the front pages of Boston area papers on the Newseum, it seemed that only the Boston Herald had come through with a tribute that was likely prepared in advance, ready to go (afternoon papers of course had time to prepare). But Editor & Publisher reports that although the first and second editions of the Boston Globe had already been printed, Editor Martin Baron halted the run of the third edition after his night crew woke him up with the news. Fittingly, the redesigned third edition was the one delivered to Cape Cod. (Unfortunately it didn’t make the Newseum front page archive.)
