Has the Parade Passed Them By?

The following medianote was presented on Tuesday, Jan. 8.

The printing press looked a little more like a relic last weekent when Parade magazine printed an interview with Benazir Bhutto 10 days after her assassination. Trouble was, as pointed out in this National Public Radio story, Parade was printed before there could be any acknowledgement of the assassination. And the 400 or so newspapers that carry Parade as a weekend insert looked incredibly out of touch as a result.
