The 8 Most Striking Newspaper Front Pages
Nothing has yet replaced the newspaper front page as a means to convey powerful messages. Here are some of the most striking of the past 40 years.
8. Olympic Games Rocked by Black Power Salute (1968)
Perhaps the most overt political statement in the 110 year history of the Olymbic Games. African American athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed their Power to the People salute at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.
7. Murderers (1997)
The Daily Mail accused the five men with the murder of of Stephen Lawrence. The men had all been arrested but never convicted after a botched police investigation.
6. Challenge to the Crown (2000)
‘In the new millennium Britain should be given the choice whether to keep the royal family or to become a republic’, stated The Guardian in this controversial edition on the State Opening of Parliament.
5. Brighton Bomb (1984)
An IRA bomb ripped through the Grand Hotel in Brighton during the Conservative Party Conference in 1984. The bombs failed to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher or any of her government ministers, but did kill five others.
4. The War is Over (2005)
Britain’s troubled relations with Ireland in the 20th century saw the Easter Rising, the birth of the Irish Free State - today the Irish Republic - and the Troubles. The Independent’s story reflected a potential turning point.
3. No News (2004)
The Independent made a power statement with their ‘No News Today’ headline which carried the foot note of ‘Just 6,500 Africans died today as a result of a preventable, treatable disease. [HIV/Aids]’
2. Gotcha (1982)
News of the sinking of the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano, by a British submarine during the Falklands war, was greeted enthusiastically by The Sun. Later editions led with ‘Did 1,500 Argies Drown?’.
1. War on America (2001)
An unforgettable image of New York’s Twin Towers ablaze together with a simple headline.
Popularity: 30% [?]

The Sun has had a lot of memorable ones over the years
“Freddie Starr ate my Hamster” (1986)
“The Truth” (The Sun’s version of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989)
“if Labour wins today will the last person to leave Britain please turn out the lights” (1992) and subsequently
“It was the Sun wot won it” (1992)

It would be interesting to see a US version of this. Somewhere back home I have the NY Times 9/11 edition put away.
This was a very fun post, Nigel!
