Let's not miss the point here. News is news, good or bad; it's unavoidable. The ads makes people think about how news can go from ordinary life to a world-changing event... in the space of a day. Who could have seen it coming? Isn't that the incredible thing about news? They illustrate that the Cape Times see's the story from a different perspective, not just the sensationalism route... the obvious road so many papers choose. This paper seems more story-focused, I could be wrong, but it's about thinking about the news, not just being bombarded with hectic images. By the way, who cares about dates of photo's etc. get on with the next best campaign already so we can all crit it robg. I agree with you Dave. Let’s not miss the point here.

The photos aren't supposed to be an accurate representation of what REALLY happened the day before (don't you think that would be a little too convenient that photos happened to have been taken just before something momentous happened?) they're supposed to make you think that on one day these normal, everyday activities were occurring and the next... But well done for showing how clever you are by taking them literally. Way to go you people complaining about dates and location and yet totally missing the point.

If it did not happen, it is not part of History. After it happened, it is the only History. History doesn't change courses, we just don't know the course beforehand. But we like to create narratives that make us believe we know "the course"... Apart from this remark, I found the pictures very beautiful and dramatic. How can the course of History change?

I think its kind of gross that the Cape Times is using tragedies to sell newspapers. If this was just an art exhibit i think it would be extremely powerful and touching. However using such tragic events that still affect people is more than kind of gross I definitely started crying at the JFK picture.

That tagline makes me angry. "The world can change in a day. Don't miss your daily edition of in depth news." Come ON. Incidentally, that field did exist the way it is in the photo [it's on West St; the cross street is one block south of Chambers St.] However, there is no way in hell that picture was taken on Monday the 10th. The youth sports practices and meets for this area happened on weekend mornings and early afternoons.

It is very clever advertising but manipulative photography. Several people have commented to point out that, for example, the Kennedy photograph was taken in October and it is highly unlikely that the others were taken 'the day before'. I agree that it is a very clever concept but it is misleading photography. Some might even say this is making commercial opportunity out of tragedy. When the next tragedy occurs how many people are going to dig out their old photos and change the EXIF date for a little fame? Let’s not get carried away on this.
